- Lynton Place,
- Ball Road,

- Weston Road,
- Kewstoke Place,

Why we are proposing improvements
We are proposing improvements to help create a safer environment for everyone and support active travel. By, for example:
- encouraging lower vehicle speeds along Llanrumney Avenue, and
- improving pedestrian crossing facilities, particularly for people visiting the leisure centre, local shops and schools. There are currently no crossing facilities along this section of road.
Funding
We are seeking funding for these proposals from the Welsh Government Active Travel Fund.
Subject to funding, we plan to deliver the scheme during the 2026 to 2027 financial year.

More information about traffic measures
Find out what each term means:
Tabled zebra crossing
This is where a zebra crossing includes a speed table, or is sited at a tabled junction (either on its own or as part of wider traffic calming).
Build-out
This is a section of widened footway. We can use build-outs to:
- reshape junctions,
- define parking areas, and
- reduce distances for pedestrians when crossing.
They can improve visibility for everyone.
Tactile paving
This is a type of paving that helps to warn visually impaired users that there is no drop between the footway and road.
Dropped kerb
This is where the level between the footway and the road is reduced as much as possible, to help:
- wheelchair users,
- people with pushchairs, and
- other mobility impaired users.
Dropped kerbs are used for the simplest form of pedestrian crossing. They are also fitted with tactile paving.
