To improve road safety & reduce traffic speed through Radyr & Morganstown to 20mph
We call upon the Radyr and Morganstown Community Council, Cardiff Council and the Department of Transport, to work together and implement traffic calming measures, safe crossings and a 20mph limit throughout Radyr and Morganstown, as a matter of urgency and as recommended by Road Safety Experts; to create a road that is safer for all road users and pedestrian-friendly for our children and most vulnerable residents.
The villages of Radyr and Morganstown on the outskirts of Cardiff have a single B road running through them.The road has become increasingly busy and treacherous over the past decade,leading to collisions, injuries and near misses - endangering the lives of our community members on a daily basis.
Key statistics:
- Heol Isaf is a B road classification.
- 10,000 + vehicles use this road each day.
- 81% of all vehicles using this road exceed the current 30mph speed limit.
- There have been 24 collisions, injuries and near misses on the road over the past decade.
- HGV's illegally use the road on a daily basis.

Reaching five hundred signatures marks a shift in how seriously our concerns are being viewed by those in power. It is heartening to see so many neighbors acknowledge that the current state of our roads is not sustainable for our community.

The stories coming in from residents about their near misses on Heol Isaf are sobering and remind me why this work is necessary. I am currently compiling your accounts to present a comprehensive report to the council members who oversee our local traffic planning. We are documenting the reality of these roads so that the risks our neighbors face every day can no longer be overlooked.

Reaching this level of support confirms that the safety of our streets is a primary concern for everyone living in Radyr and Morganstown. It is encouraging to see our neighbors unite behind the need for calmer, more predictable traffic patterns that protect our most vulnerable residents.

Not a Radyr resident, but I often drive through the community and this proposal makes sense given the (increasing) traffic volume and the narrow road profile. Will need enforcement, but lower speed limit a good start.
Every time I walk with my 3 young children to school via Heol Isaf , i feel immensely unsafe as the cars drive by at speed and as the roads are narrow at certain parts the cars are so close to the pavement that I feel my children are not safe even on the pavements.
Fully support safety measures and traffic calming to deter use of heol isaf as a cut through. Very difficult to turn right onto heol isaf coming from station and comp in the evening due to constant flow of fast moving traffic.
We cannot continue as the only area in north cardiff to have no traffic calming. Over a period of one week Gosafe Cymru found 81% of vehicles were speeding outside the church in the centre of the village. This is an insane speeding rate. Something must be done
I walk between Morganstown and Radyr every day and the number and speed of vehicles traveling through is ridiculous. Radyr and Morganstown are currently used as a bypass to the detriment of its residents.
30/01/20....THE BIG SLOW DOWN These lovely 'heart-shaped 20mph speed signs' effectively appealing to the conscience of drivers to consider what is inevitably just an advisory speed limit....and 20 mph will soon become widespread in residential areas. You can't help some people!
Radyr is being ignored because it has an ineffectual Tory councillor & Labour are using ignorance as a political tool
