Seem's the best place to post it as I have seen Bridgend mentioned a few times.

Anyone using the A473, from jcn 35 M4 to town centre (waterton roundabout)is going to be made a 50mph instead of a NSL dual carrage way. Seeing as how there is a police HQ, traffic training and home to a good few camera van's, just though I would mention to keep an eye out for the sign changes when it happens if you use that road.

Jeff,

Drove down this very road on Saturday and it seems only to be the 'first bit' (up to the new residential estate roundabout) that is reduced to 50?

Was there a time-scale mentioned on your source for this?

It was in the local press, Glamorgan Gazette. Seems to be a major bit of road works now with traffic lights etc on the Waterton rounderbout. From that roundabout to the M way heading east. The estate you mention wasn't mantioned.....if you see what I mean. That heads west from that roundabout.

No time scale but a handy bit of blatting road taken away. Part of the reason given for the works on the roundabout was a few accidents. But how and why they can use that to lower the limit on the dual carrage way's to the M4 I don't know?

Cobblers. The works are nealy finished on one roundabout and now they are starting to put lights on the B+Q roundabout. Town council needs flogging. Also the same town council that want's to invite Gadafi over for lunch.

50 now. Be warned for the revenue earners.
