Tourist left fuming at 20mph fine on Welsh road expected to return to 30mph in coming weeks
Pensioner was in his campervan when he received his first ever speeding ticket after 57 years of driving


Whatever your views are on the 20 mph speed lomit, the only thing I could say to the OAP is that he should look at the speed limit signs in the future and stick to those limits

Welsh Government to cut speed limit on section of A470 to remove 'anomaly'
Welsh Government is to cut the speed limit a on section of the A470 to remove an 'anomaly'.

The section is currently 40mph which they said was an "anomaly". It will see a 30mph limit imposed on the area, with a map below showing the section affected.This will see the speed limit go from 40mph to 30mph

Police marksmen on standby but farmers save the day to help clear 'terrible' A55 crash site
'People waiting in the queues thought we were being cheeky...they were beeping their horns and trying to block us'

Drivers were warned to avoid the area and those caught up in the chaos were diverted through Colwyn Bay, causing major snarl-ups in the town. At the centre of it all was an Anglesey farmer and his three cattle who somehow walked away from the crash relatively unscathed.
Mrs H got stuck in that traffic at the West End in Colwyn Bay and said that it was gridlocked

Menai Bridge repair work won't be complete until spring 2026
Maintenance works on the Menai Bridge began in 2023 and were previously delayed from August to December 2025, due to the discovery of defective hangers, which required "urgent replacement".

Despite previous hopes for the bridge work to be completed for the bridge's 200th anniversary on 30 January 2026, procurement and licensing issues will see repairs continue into spring.

[size=12ptThe cause of an A55 closure, which shut the westbound carriageway for two hours and sparked a huge emergency response has been confirmed by police and it wasn't a crash.

A fight broke out between two men, after a road-rage type incident at the height of rush hour yesterday afternoon.
