Increase safety measures along the A542 Llandegla to Llangollen - Horseshoe pass
The horseshoe pass is a dangerous stretch of road with a speed limit of 60mph, it has previously been brought to attention of a proposed speed limit reduction on the A542 to 40mph and 20mph on the bends, but nothing has been done about it. There are so many fatalities on this road over the years.
