Default Junc 4, a483

Another car off the road today, just before the junc4 exit, heading from 3 to 4.

The road in this sections floods, and cars aqua-plane, and it's been like it before and after the re-surfacing, it's always like it, and cars always come off,

Today about 3ish it was a black golf, the driver looked shaken to cars had already stopped so I drove on, save adding to a potentially accident. that road is a total mess, the council need to sort it out, felt so bad for that driver, esp as it's xmas eve

in other flood news, the bridge on the A5 at Chirk is flooded because of a blocked drain, forcing drivers to break hard or use theother side of the road

We have alerted highways before on an aquaplaning spot - a483 Aquaplaning Spot Warning | Wrexham.com but nothing done.

A car did fly off on Gresford Hill this year, thankfully the drains are now sorted.

Potholes and standing water seem basic stuff to solve?

Yep, the council's solution for the A483 will probably be a 50mph speed limit and a "safety camera".

I drive the 483 everyday and know all the areas of standing water so why can't the council spot them and do something about it.

What I like with wrexham, the road in ruabon by the landfill is straight flat and level, and is now 50mph

the road to coedporth is on a hill and twisty and is still 60mph, so wtf is going on with the "lets turn all the roads in town to 50mph" plan is I don't know.

I hope todays driver sues the council, because that road is dangerous and someone is going to be killed, I was in a friends car two nights ago, he is not from the area, and I just in time told him to back off the speed for the very same pool near junc 4

people from out of area, or inexperianced drivers are going to get bitten, and it's not their fault

Try bothering the trunk road agency. As I understand it the council alone would not be responsible for the road due to its regional significance as a trunk road.

which councillor is responsible for this stretch?

then we can all contact him/her... he's then screwed as a politician if an accident happens in the future (hopefully not serious)

same should be done to the MP and the AMs.

All are then culpable.

Well if it's Ian Lucas I found when dealing with him it helps to have blonde hair and tits... wont go into details but I was with a pack of students trying to access a function, the lads who rocked up first and spoke with him had to wait, stared at by security, the busty girls were taken right in,

so if wrexham.com has any pretty girls, maybe they could take a letter down to him ?
