Safety measures at Cold Inn due to high-speed traffic at a minor road junction, are being discussed by councillors for the locality.

At the recent meeting of East Williamston Community Council, a report from county councillor for the ward Jacob Williams raised the matter.

Cllr Williams told his fellow councillors that he had been contacted about the failure of traffic to slow down before turning, when reaching the T-junction at the Cold Inn end of Templebar Road.

This resulted in vehicles pulling out into the path of vehicles already travelling along the road linking Broadmoor to East Williamston or Clayford Road.

As this junction was a 'give way' junction Cllr Williams felt that it was unlikely anything major could be done to deal with the problem, and, both roads involved being so minor, it would seem unlikely that the junction would or should be reclassified as a 'stop' junction.

An initial enquiry with a Pembrokeshire County Council highways engineer revealed that no prior concerns had been raised at this location, and the signage and road markings were deemed to be in good condition.

It was recognised that "the junction is deemed quite wide and the approach from Pentlepoir is long and straight so although there is good visibility the speeds of approaching vehicles may be higher than normal," and the engineer was to discuss the matter further with colleagues within the traffic department for advice.

It was suggested that there may be potential for a high-visibility backing board to be added to the give way sign, and/or possibly an advance give way sign.

Cllr Williams, who also queried the possibility of advanced written warning on the road surface, felt that any measure that may be implemented would be minor and to complement what already exists at the junction.
