If you have, did you get off the bus into the middle of the road?
Orchard Street is one-way and the bus stop is on the right hand side of the road. 😳
I don’t get it. |  | | |  |

Will it be going back to 2 way when the kingsway is finished? |  |

Maybe the council have got hold of a load of cheap left hand drive buses from Baghdad. [Post edited 7 Jan 2020 18:28]

I believe so. I said a few months back the road seems barely wide enough for two way traffic to me, especially when you have bus stops without lay-bys most of the way along it. It's gonna be carnage on such a busy road |  | | |

You are joking? How the hell can that narrow dual carriageway go to 2-way? Unless you can just tear it up along the 8 yards wide pavement/grass.
Why they couldn't just put it back similar to how it was originally is beyond me.
Planning section need a good kick up the arris. |  | | |

Will The Kingsway's new road be suitable for all traffic?
Yes. The Kingsway, Orchard Street, Alexandra Road, Mansel Street, Christina Street, Belle Vue Way will become two-way. On The Kingsway there will be two lanes of traffic between Christina Street and Belle Vue Way. There will be two lanes on The Kingsway, one in each direction. It's wide enough to accommodate everyday private vehicles, public transport and other commercial vehicles. Council planners, highway engineers, landscape architects and external design consultants have worked together to design a scheme which reflects the view of the community who were consulted.
The Kingsway road width between kerbs is 6m. This complies with Department for Transport design guidance for bus routes and heavy goods vehicles. It is typical of many other Swansea streets.

Why they've made the pavements so wide but the road so narrow I have no idea. Maybe the experts have done the maths and it all checks out, but I'm sceptical | | | |

Thanks for the link. Having read the intended plan for the roads in this area I can now understand why that bus stop is where it is. It’s an interesting read, and eventually should work reasonably well but big changes will be quite disruptive until it’s finished. I’m still not convinced about 2 way traffic on the Kingsway, but the 20 mph limit hopefully should slow people down so that the zebra crossings will be safe. Opening up Mansel St. and Alexandra Rd. for 2 way traffic will help, as if someone is coming from Dyfatty and going to Sketty they would not have to travel down Orchard St. and the Kingsway. | | | |
