Some months ago Swansea City Council decided to change the traffic layout at Junction 45.

As anyone who frequently uses this intersection will know, thse changes have not worked. They have resulted in increased delays in the A4067 both towards and from Swansea and created dangerous levels of congestions.

Swansea Ciry Council need to revert back to the old road layout which worked much better than this new, deeply flawed layoit.

The traffic reports keep getting worse. Still waiting for a response from the council.

The momentum is undeniable now. It is clear that everyone is fed up with these fatal traffic mistakes.

Absolute nightmare trying to get off M4 WB JCT 45 to go to Clydach, two lanes for M4 one for A465 and road through Ynystawe, usually M4 lanes practically empty and queues for miles for one lane

The new traffic system fills tge left hand lane while the other two are usually little used. It is dangerous as people instinctively use the middle lane for the Valley and because people use the middle lane to jump past traffic in the correct left lane.

I use this every day and it is definately been made worse. I queue on the motorway on a regular basis as cant get on slip road due to the change. Its an accident waiting to happen.

It is a quite ridiculous and shocking decision,either resequence the lights or revert it back numbskulls

Trial and error, it hasn't worked, needs to be addressed asap, Needs to be monitored for a couple of weeks and a better system put in place. seems to be issues with timings on the lights, wrong lanes used, 1 lane full, backed up all the way around and the other 2 lanes empty? different days different issues. backing up nearly to M4 sometmes. stressed workers coming home from work don't need these issues, possible accidents every day. road rage may be an outcome, but people are dealing with it well, people giving way even when its frustrating. Please can this be addressed.

Such a dangerous junction now approaching Ynysforgan roundabout from Swansea. Terrible and unnecessary congestion.
