English: I don't think anybody in the Chamber would disagree with the assertion that the A55 requires investment and upgrades. I'm pleased that we've been able in recent months to avoid planned daytime closures of the A55. Night-time closures will continue through to September of this year with no daytime planned closures taking place. But I also recognise that there is a need at the same time to upgrade significant parts of the A55 and to implement the short, medium and long-term objectives and recommendations that were identified in the resilience study. In terms of the 55 closures, the vast majority of those can be attributed to accidents, incidents, breakdowns due to - believe it or not, there is a proportion of breakdowns caused by motorists running out of fuel. But it was also attributed largely to those planned overnight works. Now, I think that what's essential is that we look at the progress that is going to be made in the coming months, and then judge on the basis of the implementation of the quick wins the success or otherwise of Welsh Government. I can say that, on wireless CCTV, installation is taking place in April; on the incident detection software, we're trialling a system; on the traffic officer coverage, with the extended hours, we're currently recruiting additional traffic officers - likewise, the additional traffic officer unit - and we expect also that by the end of March additional traffic officers will be extending their work right to the Gledrid roundabout of the A483, covering that huge area, the 55 and then down. I'm pleased to be able to say that we're expecting a launch during April of the roads timetable. We're currently in discussions with data providers. In terms of the free recovery trial that was identified in the resilience study, we're currently reviewing historic incident statistics to see where and when this might provide some benefit. There was also a recommendation for additional mobile units and we now have six mobile signs rented, and those are on order for delivery shortly. We also have taken on a communications manager, which was identified as a crucial role. In terms of performance analysis we expect in April to be able to have completed the procurement effort that will allow that. In terms of the average speed enforcement trial on the Rhuallt Hill, again, we're going to go live with that in April or May of this year, and then, finally, the final short term measure that was recommended concerned vehicle restrictions on slow-moving vehicles. We are currently identifying exactly what definition should be used for slow-moving vehicles. It might take some time. We need to ensure the legal implications are bottomed out before we implement any restrictions on vehicle movement.
Welsh: Ni chredaf y byddai unrhyw un yn y Siambr yn anghytuno â'r honiad fod angen buddsoddiad a gwaith uwchraddio ar yr A55. Rwy'n falch ein bod, dros y misoedd diwethaf, wedi gallu osgoi cau wedi'i gynllunio ar yr A55 yn ystod y dydd. Bydd lonydd yn parhau i gau yn y nos hyd at fis Medi eleni heb unrhyw gynlluniau i gau lonydd yn ystod y dydd. Ond rwyf hefyd yn cydnabod, ar yr un pryd, fod angen uwchraddio rhannau mawr o'r A55 a rhoi'r amcanion a'r argymhellion a nodwyd yn yr astudiaeth gydnerthedd ar gyfer y tymor byr, y tymor canolig a'r tymor hir ar waith. O ran y 55 achos o gau, gellir dweud bod y mwyafrif helaeth ohonynt wedi digwydd o achos damweiniau, digwyddiadau, torri lawr oherwydd - credwch neu beidio, achosir cyfran o ddigwyddiadau o geir yn torri lawr gan fodurwyr yn rhedeg allan o danwydd. Ond digwyddodd llawer ohonynt o ganlyniad i waith dros nos a gynlluniwyd. Nawr, credaf ei bod yn hanfodol inni edrych ar y cynnydd a wneir dros y misoedd nesaf, a barnu wedyn ar sail gweithredu'r atebion cyflym a yw Llywodraeth Cymru wedi llwyddo neu fethu. Gallaf ddweud fod gwaith ar osod offer teledu cylch cyfyng di-wifr yn mynd rhagddo ym mis Ebrill; o ran y feddalwedd synhwyro digwyddiadau, rydym yn treialu system; o ran gwaith swyddogion traffig, gyda'r oriau estynedig, rydym yn recriwtio swyddogion traffig ychwanegol ar hyn o bryd - ac mae'r un peth yn wir am yr uned swyddogion traffig ychwanegol - ac rydym hefyd yn disgwyl, erbyn diwedd mis Mawrth, y bydd swyddogion traffig ychwanegol yn ymestyn eu gwaith hyd at gylchfan y Gledryd ar yr A483, gan gwmpasu'r ardal enfawr honno, yr A55 ac i lawr. Rwy'n falch o allu dweud ein bod yn disgwyl i amserlen y ffyrdd gael ei lansio ym mis Ebrill. Rydym yn cynnal trafodaethau ar hyn o bryd gyda darparwyr data. O ran y cynllun treialu achub cerbydau rhad ac am ddim a nodwyd yn yr astudiaeth gydnerthedd, rydym yn adolygu ystadegau digwyddiadau hanesyddol ar hyn o bryd i weld lle a phryd y gallai hyn ddarparu rhywfaint o fudd. Cafwyd argymhelliad hefyd i ddarparu unedau symudol ychwanegol, ac rydym bellach wedi rhentu chwe arwydd symudol, a byddant yn cael eu cyflenwi cyn bo hir. Rydym hefyd wedi cyflogi rheolwr cyfathrebu, a nodwyd fel rôl hollbwysig. O ran dadansoddi perfformiad, rydym yn disgwyl y byddwn wedi gallu cwblhau'r ymdrech gaffael a fydd yn caniatáu hynny ym mis Ebrill. O ran y cynllun treialu camau i orfodi cyflymder cyfartalog ar Allt Rhuallt, unwaith eto, byddwn yn ei roi ar waith ym mis Ebrill neu fis Mai eleni, ac yna, yn olaf, roedd y mesur tymor byr terfynol a argymhellwyd yn ymwneud â chyfyngiadau ar gerbydau araf. Ar hyn o bryd, rydym yn nodi'r union ddiffiniad y dylid ei ddefnyddio ar gyfer cerbydau araf. Gallai'r gwaith hwnnw gymryd peth amser. Mae angen inni sicrhau bod y goblygiadau cyfreithiol yn gwbl glir cyn inni roi unrhyw gyfyngiadau ar symudiad cerbydau ar waith.
