Road Safety As We Head Into Autumn

Road Safety As We Head Into Autumn

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Road safety issues, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

As we transition into autumn and the first proper rainfall begins, road surfaces can becoming rather slippery.

Oil, dust, grit and other residue that has built up in the roads over summer can rise to the surface when the rain returns reducing grip and stopping distances. Dyfed Powys Police would like to take a second to remind everyone to take a bit more care around bends, junctions, roundabouts and common braking areas.

It's worth taking a few minutes to check your tyres for tread depth, cuts and air, that your lights are working well and wipers don't need replacing.

So keep safe and keep an eye for all road users, particularly cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians who are even more vulnerable as the weather worsens.
A few extra seconds of care can make all the difference.
