Eastern Bypass Accidents Cardiff
Has anyone noticed recently the amount of Car Accidents there seems to be along the stretch of road on the outskirts of Cardiff called Eastern Bypass? – Not so long ago they reduced the speed limit from 70mph to 50mph as they narrowed the lanes in order to fit a Bus Lane from the Pentwyn to llanedeyrn Junction. The narrowed lanes were part of a project to allow commuters to park on the outer part of the city and to catch a dedicated bus into the city.
I have found that over the last few months many people drive above 50mph.. and often 70mph as this used to be the previous limit. Now the dangerous bit is that when coming down a slip road onto the carriage way, many people have driven at 50mph or even as low as 40mph onto the main road when people are above this… creating a situation of either going into the back of the car in front or even struggling to join the road safely.
Now I haven’t done much investigation into the recent car accidents on the road but I will and see if there’s a pattern between the accidents and the 50mph speed limit. Share your experiences below, I’d really like to hear from you.
