Manual lights set up and workers doubled to ease Heol Isaf, Llantrisant Road traffic jams<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n

PLASDWR<\/a> has responded to complaints about the roadworks at the Heol Isaf and Llantrisant Road junction by introducing manually controlled traffic lights 20 metres from the roundabout.<\/p>\n\n\n

Contractor Alun\nGriffiths has also doubled the number of workers on the junction to speed up\nthe roadworks.<\/p>\n\n\n

The traffic lights will be operated at peak times on weekdays, 6.30am to 9.30am and 3.30pm to 7pm. Plasdwr will monitor traffic at weekends to see if manual lights are required on Saturdays and Sundays.<\/p>\n\n\n

Plasdwr said the lights \u201cwill be responsive to traffic flow and ensure, for example, that traffic from Radyr can get onto Llantrisant Road more easily\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n

Fairwater councillor Keith Parry is not convinced by the changes. \u201cThere needs to be two files of traffic at peak times so that long queues don\u2019t build up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n

Many residents have been expressing their anger on social media. <\/p>\n\n\n
