History
The original route designated A475 in 1923 ran from Swansea to Carmarthen.[1] When this route was renumbered in 1935, the designation was given to the Lampeter to Newcastle Emlyn route.[2]
Hazards and Incidents
On 11 September 2001 a council lorry collided with a school bus near the Horeb crossroads. A number of children and three adults were treated for shock and minor injury, but no one was seriously injured.[3] In the same year a young couple died when their car left the road near Lampeter.[4] A review of speed limits was called for in 2013 following an accident on the road, which was referred to by a local driver as "a death trap".[5] The A475 was classed by the Road Safety Foundation in 2011 as a Low-medium risk road;[6] the classification was increased in 2014 as Medium risk.[7]
