Roads in the area

It did seem strange to me too Dave but at that time of night I wasn't getting out of the car to talk to the person..     The sign was the normal Police reflective sign saying Police Slow but nothing else so I proceeded with caution and then the guy came to my car..  My car doors lock automatically but I wound down the window slightly to talk to him and his first words were " didn't you see the sign"so I said that I had but the sign didn't say that the road was closed.
I did find it odd that there was no Police sign or presence at the top of the hill above this alleged accident.

Seems very weird he came out into the road no high vis not too bright of him and not too bright on that road at night.

He said that he was an off duty Policeman so that may explain the lack of a high viz jacket but I know someone in the Police Traffic so I'll ask him when I see him next

Anglesey: Menai Bridge closure a nightmare, haulier warns

The closure of one of two bridges linking Anglesey and the mainland has been described as a "nightmare" for businesses.

Menai Bridge closed suddenly on Friday after engineers identified safety risks which could take 16 weeks to fix.

Haulage firm boss Steph Rielly said the implications could be costly due to anticipated hold-ups.

The Welsh government said available options to reopen the bridge as soon as possible were being actively assessed

Staggering 300% rise in cost of third Menai crossing as bridge decision looms
Even if the scheme gets the green light, the new bridge may not open for another seven years, minister reveals

Estimated costs for building a third crossing across the Menai Strait have more than trebled since a preferred option was identified four years ago. If a new road bridge is finally given the go-ahead, it would take around seven years to build and cost some ?400 million
[I suppose we can double that by the time its built]

I read this article in the Daily Post today and just hope that the child was not seriously injured.    There should have been a 20 mph sign in the area by the school and the Welsh Government may extend the 20 mph limit to residential areas next year.
Having said that no one can anticipate bad driving as I found out on Tuesday.  I had just turned in to a road near where I live and the first house on the left has a drive that is obscured from the road.     Just as I was about to pass the driveway a white VW shot out of the drive, crossed the pavement and turned in my direction without slowing down or stopping
All I could do was an emergency stop followed by a loud blast on the car horn.        Unfortunately I had removed my dash camera so I didn't have proof of the incident but as soon as I got home I replaced the dash cam as that near miss did give me a fright
