Samuel Kurtz MS has today reinforced his campaign for urgent road safety improvements on the A477, highlighting progress at key junctions while stressing that more must be done.
The renewed push follows long-standing concerns about accidents, near-misses, and speeding along the vital South Pembrokeshire route, particularly at the Red Roses, Cosheston, and other high-risk locations.
While improvements at the Nash Fingerpost junction have already helped reduce accidents and improve traffic flow, Samuel Kurtz MS has secured confirmation from the Welsh Government that:
- Safety improvements will be carried out at Red Roses junction
- A full speed limit review will take place through Milton village
Despite these steps forward, parts of the A477 remain dangerous, and the Member of the Senedd is calling for further action and continued community input.
Samuel Kurtz MS said:
“The A477 is a lifeline for our communities and local economy but too many sections remain unsafe. Red Roses is a clear example of a junction that may meet technical criteria on paper, yet in practice poses real dangers to motorists.
These improvements build on the successful work at Nash Fingerpost, which shows that practical changes can make a real difference. But there is more to do particularly at Cosheston and other high-risk points along the route.”
To strengthen the case for further improvements, Samuel Kurtz MS is urging residents, commuters, businesses, and road users to share their experiences of using the A477, including concerns about speeding, dangerous junctions, poor visibility, or near-misses.
“Community evidence matters,” he added. “Your experiences will help push for stronger, comprehensive safety measures and ensure the Welsh Government acts quickly. Together, we can make the A477 safer.”
Residents can contribute their experiences and feedback via the A477 Road Safety Survey, taking just 30 seconds to complete at https://www.samuelkurtz.wales/campaigns/action-a477-road-safety
Samuel Kurtz MS encourages everyone who uses the A477 to have their say and support the call for further road safety action.
