Traffic calming in Ferryside is not a bumpy ride

A raft of new traffic calming measurers is planned for Ferryside with no humps.

A public exhibition at the village’s community hall attracted 51 visitors to view the proposals which included:

• Electronic driver feedback signs unit on Carmarthen Road (both east and west bound)
• Traffic warning sign (double bend) on Port Way.
• 20mph speed limit terminal signs (both sides of carriageway) on Carmarthen Road, Water Street, Port Way, and Brigstock Terrace
• 20mph speed limit imposed on Carmarthen Road, Water Street, Eva Terrace, Port Way, and Brigstock Terrace
• New bus shelter and raised kerbs adjoining the public car park and adjoining the level crossing.

There are no plans to construct traffic humps in Ferryside.

More than 370 letters were delivered by hand to all properties in the village before the exhibition event in early March.

Several suggestions were made by consultees and these are now being assessed as to whether they can be incorporated into the overall scheme.

Traffic signs have been placed on order and it is hoped that a scheme will be implemented as soon as possible.
