Survey response: Speed scoping Exercise

BILINGUAL MESSAGE / NEGES DWYIEITHOG

Good morning. This is your local Neighbourhood Policing Team.  

This morning officers conducted a speed scoping exercise in relation to concerns from residents living in SouthWard Lane from Langland Road to Mumbles area. 

A preliminary assessment was conducted as a first initial phase, which then will be further investigation with local residents support at some future stage. 

Synopsis 

SouthWard Lane is a main thoroughfare with busy traffic throughout the day. Traffic will travel from respective areas heading towards from SouthWard Lane and on to Langland Road to respective roads and access to Mumbles Roads. 

Morning traffic comprises of the local school run and work related traffic.  Again busy traffic can take place from School pick up and those after 1700 hrs to 1800 hrs, which would be those finishing work. 

Most of the issues seem to be with vehicles travelling along SouthWard Lane down towards Langland Road. There is a bit of a steep descent which there is Highways signage every 150 yards or so warning drivers to slow down. However this seems mostly to be ignored. 

 Speaking to residents it seems to be a constant theme. Given the Summer locations of Rotherslade,  Langland and Caswell,  a number of visiting vehicles will access the roads. This also has the effect of causing concerns of traffic speeding. 

There is nearby a local bus stop which is used mainly with school children waiting to take a bus home. You have multiple  roads along the route to where general members of public access to Cross the road on the bend of SouthWard Lane.  

On Monday 15th July at 0830 hrs to 0900 hrs the speed scoping exercise took place at the location of SouthWard Lane. 

Out of 30 vehicles who proceeded to travel down the main road of SouthWard Lane. Findings were:

8 vehicles averaged 25mph to 30mph.

7 vehicles averaged 24mph to 26mph

15 were within 20mph or below. 

On average 50% of vehicles were in excess of the 20mph speed limit. 

I suspect speeds of travel could be more with previous issues conducted a number of months ago at Langland Road where some vehicles were 40mph to 50mph. 

Findings will be passed to local Councillors and on to the Highways Dept.  

As previously stated we will look at conducting further exercises in relation to speeding and concerns you have. 

Please show your appreciation and feedback. Neighbourhood Policing here for you.

Ymateb i'n harolwg : Ymarfer Cwmpasu cyflymder

Shwmae  Resident

 Bore da. Dyma'ch Tîm Plismona Bro lleol.  

Y bore yma cynhaliodd swyddogion ymarfer cwmpasu cyflymder mewn perthynas â phryderon gan drigolion sy'n byw yn SouthWard Lane o Langland Road i ardal y Mwmbwls. 

Cynhaliwyd asesiad rhagarweiniol fel cam cychwynnol cyntaf, a fydd wedyn yn ymchwiliad pellach gyda chefnogaeth trigolion lleol rywbryd yn y dyfodol. 

Crynodeb 

Mae SouthWard Lane yn brif dramwyfa gyda thraffig prysur trwy gydol y dydd. Bydd traffig yn teithio o'r ardaloedd priodol gan fynd tuag at SouthWard Lane ac ymlaen i Langland Road i'r ffyrdd priodol a mynediad i Heol y Mwmbwls. 

Mae traffig y bore yn cynnwys y rhediad ysgol leol a thraffig cysylltiedig â gwaith.  Eto gall traffig prysur ddigwydd o gasglu Ysgol a'r rhai ar ôl 1700 awr i 1800 o'r gloch, sef y rheiny sy'n gorffen gwaith. 

Mae'n ymddangos bod y rhan fwyaf o'r problemau yn ymwneud â cherbydau'n teithio ar hyd SouthWard Lane i lawr tuag at Langland Road. Mae rhywfaint o ddisgyniad serth ac mae arwyddion Priffyrdd bob rhyw 150 llath yn rhybuddio gyrwyr i arafu. Fodd bynnag, ymddengys bod hyn yn cael ei anwybyddu ar y cyfan. 

Wrth siarad â thrigolion mae'n ymddangos yn thema gyson. O ystyried lleoliadau Rotherslade, Langland a Caswell yn yr haf, bydd nifer o gerbydau sy'n ymweld yn mynd i'r ffyrdd. Mae hyn hefyd yn achosi pryderon am oryrru traffig. 

Mae safle bws lleol gerllaw a ddefnyddir yn bennaf gyda phlant ysgol yn aros i fynd â bws adref. Mae gennych nifer o ffyrdd ar hyd y llwybr lle mae aelodau cyffredinol o'r cyhoedd yn mynd i Groeswch y ffordd ar dro SouthWard Lane.  

Ddydd Llun 15 Gorffennaf am 0830 o'r gloch i 0900 o'r gloch cynhaliwyd yr ymarfer cwmpasu cyflymder yn lleoliad SouthWard Lane. 

Allan o 30 o gerbydau a aeth ymlaen i deithio i lawr y brif ffordd i SouthWard Lane. Y canfyddiadau oedd:

Roedd 8 cerbyd yn 25mya i 30mya ar gyfartaledd.

Roedd 7 cerbyd ar gyfartaledd rhwng 24mya a 26mya

Roedd 15 o fewn 20mya neu lai. 

Ar gyfartaledd roedd 50% o gerbydau dros y terfyn cyflymder 20mya. 

Rwy’n amau y gallai cyflymderau teithio fod yn uwch gyda materion blaenorol a gynhaliwyd nifer o fisoedd yn ôl yn Langland Road lle roedd rhai cerbydau’n 40mya i 50mya. 

Bydd y canfyddiadau'n cael eu trosglwyddo i Gynghorwyr lleol ac ymlaen i'r Adran Priffyrdd.  

Fel y dywedwyd yn flaenorol byddwn yn edrych ar gynnal ymarferion pellach mewn perthynas â goryrru a phryderon sydd gennych. 

Dangoswch eich gwerthfawrogiad a'ch adborth. Plismona Bro yma i chi. 

Diolch am eich help. Dim ond wrth i'r heddlu a'r cyhoedd cydweithio y gallwn atal a chanfod troseddau.

Oes angen i chi siarad â'r heddlu ond nid oes angen ymateb brys arnoch?
