Average speed cameras to be installed on major North Wales road

Average speed cameras will be installed on a major road which has seen "a significant number of collisions". Flintshire^[1] Council has confirmed work to install cameras on the A548 coast road between Llanerch-y-Mor and Mostyn will begin this week.

They said the cameras are needed to tackle the large number of crashes on the stretch^[2] of road seen in recent years. A number of these crashes have resulted in death or serious injury, the council said.

A spokesperson said: "The measure is part of a collaborative effort to improve road safety between Flintshire County Council and North Wales Police^[3]. Funded by Welsh Government, the project aims to tackle speeding and enhance safety along this vital route.

"The A548 has been identified as a priority location because of a significant number of collisions in recent years, including several incidents resulting in fatality or serious injury. The new average speed camera system will encourage safer driving behaviour and improve overall traffic conditions.

"The installation work is anticipated to take 4 weeks and will include the warning signs to inform drivers of the new enforcement measures."
