Having been up and down that stretch of road a lot recently, has anyone else noticed the volume of yellow signs on the access roads onto the A55? There is a forest of them!

SPEEDING HGV’s were targeted over a weekend.

Following recent public concern regarding speeding HGV’s travelling through the current roadworks on the A55 at Tal y Bont near Bangor, officers from the Roads Policing Unit carried out an operation over the weekend.

A total of 13 drivers in foreign-registered vehicles were stopped and issued with Graduated Fixed Penalty Notices – meaning they had to pay ‘on the spot’ fines.

Graduated Fixed Penalty Notices:
Non UK drivers who commit offences in the UK are required to pay an immediate financial penalty deposit (‘deposit’), either equal to the fixed penalty amount, or a set figure of £300 per offence as a court financial deposit (‘court deposit’), if the offence is of a nature that it cannot be dealt with by way of a fixed penalty.

Failure to pay a deposit will result in the vehicle being immobilised and recovered until payment is made. In such cases, significant additional charges including: an immobilisation release fee of £80; up to £350 recovery charge; and up to £35 per day storage charge, will apply. All charges must be paid in full before the vehicle can be released.

Update on above 

A 23-year-old man has been arrested following a car crash which caused "significant damage" to a row of shops.

That's outrageous behaviour and there should be a jail sentence to follow.

Three-vehicle crash shuts A55 lane amid reports of cars in ditch
There are reports of traffic disruption as a result of the crash.   That area of high ground on the A55 can be bad in the Winter but I don't know what caused this accident

A55 motorists will face 18 days of disruption later this month when partial closures are put in place to enable bridge upgrades.

Old expansion joints on bridge decks at the Goat Inn Viaduct, Conwy, need replacing after nearing the end of their lifespans.
These joints allow the bridge to accommodate movement from seismic activity and seasonal temperature fluctuations.
As they are attached to the ends of the bridge deck, they can only be removed via targeted demolition.

The bridge must then be partially rebuilt to install the replacements.
Each side of the carriageway must be closed whilst the old joints are removed and new ones installed.

The renewal work, between junctions 15 and 16, will be carried out between 6am on January 20 and 6am on February 7.

Temporary signs will warn drivers to stay on the A55 and to “expect queues and delays”.
A contraflow system will be set up to allow contractors to replace the expansion joints, each of which span the full width of the carriageway.

The closures will also be used to carry out Pen Y Clip tunnel and headland maintenance works.

A crash has shut the A470 in Conwy.

Llanrwst Road is currently closed in both directions from Maenan to Llanrwst.

Emergency services are responding to the incident.

Traffic systems say one vehicle is involved from B5106 (Pont Fawr, Llanrwst) to Tyn y Groes turn off (Tal-y-cafn).

The accident happened just before 7am near the Erw Glas Campsite.

Diversions are in place via the B5106 through Trefriw and Tal Y Cafn.

We will bring you all the latest updates as we get them.         https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/live-a470-shut-both-directions-22773507?IYA-reg=a05105fc-304d-4c50-9807-edab51f779a4

Residents of the Conwy Valley to make their concerns heard by completing her survey, following a recent road traffic incident along the A470 between Maenan and Tal-y-Cafn.

“Local residents can be assured that, with the survey responses obtained, I will continue to hold the Welsh Government to their promise of a 2022/2023 review so that locals and visitors alike are kept safe.”

Residents can submit their concerns by heading to www.janetfinchsaunders.org.uk/A470.

Welsh Government has scrapped plans to remove roundabouts on the A55 after a recommendation from the roads review panel - who have suggested a 50mph limit on the stretch.

The Government had plans to change junctions 15 and 16, replacing existing roundabouts at Llanfairfechan and Penmaenmawr with "grade separated" junctions.

It had been set for a public inquiry but last June, Deputy Climate Change Minister Lee Waters announced that all new road-building projects will be stopped while the new panel - made up of climate and transport experts - conducts a wide-ranging review.

Work is set to start tomorrow on resurfacing a stretch of the A55 - with lane closures and an overnight detour in place.

The work is taking place on the A55 eastbound carriageway between J16A Dwygyfylchi and J17 Conwy (The Penmaenbach Headland).

This will start tomorrow at 7pm, and finish on March 7 at 7am.
