The character of Pontypridd
The old market town centre sits below the confluence, with the historic bridge and the market hall forming its centre of gravity. The A470 bypasses the centre on a viaduct, which keeps through-traffic off the older streets but means access to the town itself involves dropping down from the main road. Cars wait around the bus station or the riverside car parks rather than on the market streets.

- The A470 viaduct has no realistic alternative if it is blocked — we monitor it.
- Ynysangharad Park events bring short local road changes we account for in advance.
