	BBC NEWS \| Wales \| Road plan prompts boom hopes
		"The road is so narrow in places, for instance, a bus apparently caught fire in one part of the road recently and they had to close the road and divert traffic round for about 15 miles.
		The leader said the road is so narrow that in some places two lorries cannot pass.
		The leader said work on the road might not start until the end of the summer because of the birds' nesting season.

	BBC NEWS \| Wales \| M4 relief road plan unveiled
		The road, between junctions 23 and 29, is expected to cost at least £350m and is likely to be tolled, but faces opposition from environmental groups.
		Several new road schemes have also been announced - the most controversial of which was a relief road for the M4 at Newport, around the traffic flspot known as Brynglas Tunnels.
		But road traffic expert Dr Anthony Beresford, of Cardiff Business School, told BBC Wales a toll road around Newport would be "a white elephant for 20 hours a day".

		The A497 begins in the north Wales town of Porthmadog on the A487, at a roundabout a short distance north-west of the southern end of the world famous Ffestiniog Railway.
		Like many other roads in this group, there is a large expanse of low lying ground on one side and a barruer of hills on the other and the road stays as close to the hills as possible.
		After leaving Pwllheli - the road is not particularly wide at first, but without large deviations in course - the large round thing is part of a fairly large camp site with a golf driving range attached - but you can't see any of this from the road itself.

	Walk #400: Porthmadog to Pwllheli
		The first section of road to Llanystumdwy had a pavement, but this ended at the village so I diverted along the quieter roads through the village, passing the Lloyd George Museum on the way.
		Head downhill past a series of hotels, and when the road turns to the right follow it northwards over the railway line (the footpath marked on the OS map going westwards along the coast was shut due to erosion when I walked the route; this may reopen in the future).
		Pass the Lloyd George museum and cross the bridge over the river, and follow the road around until it ends at the A497 road to the west of the village.

	UK, Wales, Environment, Landscape, Conservation: Campaign for the Protection of Rural Wales: Press Notices / ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The plan to upgrade the A497 was first proposed almost ten years ago, but since then public opinion and government policy have changed to favour lower speed on rural roads.
		The traffic flow, which shows marked seasonal fluctuation, can be accommodated on this attractive rural road, with safety improvements in some places, without the sacrifice of thirty acres of adjoining rural landscape.
		Wanting a faster road, as outlined in Gwynedd Council's Statement of Case, is too trivial a reason set against the cost to the community and environment of the current proposal.

		Sent: 10/12/2004 7:52 AM The A to Z Road Atlas is now in WH Smiths, and since my 2005 AA Atlas had already disintegrated before the end of July 2004 I decided to treat myself.
		This road will cross direct from the 5 zone to the 7 zone, so I wonder how it will be numbered.
		The existing road is twisty, narrow, with very poor sight lines, and busy in the summer, but somehow I never imagined that it would ever be improved.

	Criccieth: Touring Wales on Britannia
		Criccieth is a small resort village a few minutes west of Porthmadog on the A497 that runs toward Pwllheli, on Tremadog Bay.
		Its dominant castle, perched on its rocky hill, was first a Welsh stronghold, for it was begun in 1230 and extended in 1260, before Edward I made it into one of his strongholds that put a noose around North Wales.
		Continuing on the A497 to Pwllheli, just down the road from Criccieth, we reach the tiny village of Llanystumdwy (Thlan Uh Stim Dooween), where David Lloyd George, Welsh Prime Minister of Britain during World War I and architect of many of its social services, kept his home and where he died in 1945.

	SABRE - Road Lists - Roads by 10 - A487
		There are a lot of A roads in Haverfordwest and two of them are primary - the A40 trunk road runs east from here towards London, and north towards Fishguard, bypassing the town to the north east, whilst at the same time running through the town.
		The two contenders are the roundabout on the inner version of the A40 at Cartlett Road, where the A487 heads west over the River Cleddau.
		The streets were too narrow to cope with the traffic, and what is actually a pleasant town was marred by the volume of queuing traffic on the road.
