- Description
- As a busy city, Cardiff of course has heavy traffic. It's part and parcel of big populations and city life. But some might think that that doesn't necessarily have to mean junctions that are difficult (sometimes painfully so) to use. Everyone has a particular spot they dread, especially those unlucky enough to find themselves on the wrong side of the rules and who get caught out by cameras spotting them in bus lanes, yellow boxes, bus stops or no-entry roads. Here are some of the junctions we think are the most awkward to deal with in Cardiff.
