Residents on a road you will soon be fined for fined for driving down have described the reality of living on a notoriously busy rat run. The plan aims to cut down traffic around Crystal Glen during peak times and will apply from 7 am to 7 pm from Monday to Saturday.
Crystal Glen in Llanishen will form the gate and will restrict cars from using it as a cut-through when travelling from Ty-Glas Avenue to Heathwood Road, just north of Roath Park Lake.
CCTV cameras will monitor and enforce the gate, with a £70 fine issued to drivers who travel through the section of Crystal Glen without a digital permit. The fine is £35 if paid within 21 days, and warning notices will be issued for only the first 14 days of the scheme. You can read more detail on how it will work here.
