M4 Brynglas Tunnel New Fixed 50mph Trial!

[chasingracecars]

So the assembly today voted to lower the speed limit through Newport and tunnels to 50mph in a trail to lower vehicle emissions in the area.

Surely we have just endured a trial of this over the last year during the erm 50mph variable limit during the tunnel works.

Yep saw this this morning about Port Talbot section. What annoys me is the Newport section is a trial! We have put up with a year of 50 for the bridge works! Why not have done it then!

If it’s for pollution at Port Talbot has anyone had their back to the motorway and noticed the steel plants that support if not hold up entirely the Welsh economy!

They really need to get on with sorting out the road and building 4 lanes all the way from the bridge to Swansea and three lanes to Haverford West from Port Talbot. Yes it’s overkill but why attempt to build something we need now, once it’s built it will be full already.
