Rejected petition Scrap the proposed plans for a 50mph limit on the Heads of the Valleys road (A465)

The upgrade of the A465 has been subject to numerous forums over recent years owing to nearly a £100 million overspend and a further 3 year delay to construction.
Despite these setbacks to deliver an upgrade the current WAG proposals include the road retaining a 50mph speed limit.
Given the significant developments in all aspects of vehicle safety/advances in civil engineering when compared to the original stretch, we feel this is completely unnecessary and such a low limit should be removed
