Newport takes centre stage at road safety conference
The trust was established in memory of Ms Smith, who died in a car crash in 2017 at the age of 21.
Dr Smith said: "A big thank you to all who helped organise the third Road Safety Conference in memory of our daughter Rhiannon.
"This includes our speakers, John Griffiths, and Langstone Community Council, who provided a grant towards the conference costs."
He said the event focused on achieving 'Vision Zero'—the goal of eliminating deaths and serious injuries on UK roads and graduated driving licences, the 20mph zones and hazards towards vulnerable road users.
Newport City Council representatives were in attendance, including Councillor Rhian Howells and Councillor Ray Mogford.
The recently formed St Julians and Beechwood Community Action Group also took part.
Mr Griffiths said: "Road safety is a fundamental issue for every community, not just in Newport but across Wales.
"I was proud to support this important conference and the powerful work of the Rhiannon Jade Smith Memorial Trust."

Newport: Rogerstone residents object to new EV chargers
Rodney Beacham, a resident of Oak Road, said: 'EV charging bays are wide, and we'll clearly lose space we can't afford to lose. 'It's already rammed here. We're going to see fewer spaces, and people from elsewhere could come here to charge in spots we used to park in.' Paul Griffiths, another resident, added: 'It's a ridiculous idea. They've made their decision without thinking about us. 'Parking is already constrained here. If they're encouraging others to park here, where are we going to park?' On the broader rollout, he said: 'Fewer than 100 spaces, what impact will that really have in the context of global carbon emissions? Why are they making our lives difficult just to achieve some token effort?' Newport City Council began installing EV chargers in April 2025 as part of its Net Zero plan. Rogerstone is among the first areas to receive the new infrastructure, with compact chargers fitted into existing streetlights to minimize disruption. The streetlight-style units, installed by Urban Fox, are designed to avoid the need for dedicated bays or pavement space. The council say the chargers will be placed in areas where driveways are scarce, aiming to provide practical options for residents considering electric vehicles. Rogerstone's inclusion reflects the council's goal of equitable access across Newport's communities. While the rollout has been welcomed by some, concerns persist about the impact on parking. Residents worry that converting bays to EV-only use could worsen parking pressures, especially in densely populated streets. The council has not yet released data on how many spaces will be affected throughout the Newport authority area. Chargers are operated by providers such as Dragon Charging and PodPoint. Users can access them via RFID cards or mobile apps, with costs varying by operator. Standard parking fees apply in off-street car parks. Newport also aims to meet national standards for inclusive infrastructure. The rollout in Rogerstone is seen as a step toward making EV ownership more viable for suburban residents. The success of the initiative will depend on balancing convenience, accessibility, and community impact. Newport City Council has stated the charging points will be among the first streetlight-style units installed in Wales. A spokesman said: 'These charging points will be installed on streets where homes lack off-street parking, such as driveways or garages. 'They're ideal for residential areas, allowing us to expand the network without taking up valuable street space.'

The new roadside tech busting drivers of roaring cars and serving them $250 noise violations
Drivers with roaring engines are being hit with $250 tickets in Newport, Rhode Island thanks to new 'noise cameras' that detect vehicles exceeding the city's decibel limit and automatically flag them for fines. The technology, which is set to be expanded to numerous states across the US, is targeting cars and motorcycles that exceed noise laws with revving engines, blaring stereos, or modified muffler exhausts. In late July, one such camera clocked a crimson Mustang GT at 85 decibels - two over the legal limit - and instantly issued a violation. 'Folks have reached their boiling point,' said Newport City Councilor David Carlin III, describing the frustration that drove the city to deploy the devices after years of complaints about roaring engines that rattle windows and ruin summer evenings. The city's high-tech solution to the problem is two new Dutch-made Sorama noise cameras, which are mounted on portable trailers and fitted with 64 microphones that pinpoint the exact source of a sound. Linked to license plate reader technology, the system can identify a single offending vehicle in a crowded street. Police Chief Ryan Duffy said handheld noise meters used in the past were ineffective because offenders were 'mobile' and often gone before officers could act. 'It's much more difficult when that party is mobile,' Duffy said. Newport's first deployment was along Thames Street, a narrow one-way road lined with clapboard buildings that amplify sound. On one recent evening, a pack of motorcycles and a Jeep with its stereo blasting pierced the calm night - exactly the kind of disruption Duffy says the cameras are designed to stop. Local Realtor Caroline Richards, 54, says the change is long overdue. 'We should be hearing crickets and nice summer sounds,' she said to the Wall Street Journal. 'I'm not for over-policing what people want to drive or do. But it's just obnoxious. It just feels like it's definitely gotten worse.' Spreading far beyond Rhode Island, noise cameras are the newest wave in automated law enforcement and are already common across Europe. They are now being rolled out across the US, including in Knoxville, Tennessee which will launch a new program later this year to hand out $50 fines to noisy motorists. Albuquerque, New Mexico is also testing three cameras to combat drag racing, while Philadelphia has passed legislation to allow their use. Hawaii is also planning 10 noise detectors across Oahu, while even the small town of Avoca, Iowa, is preparing to fine overly loud trucks. New York City leads the way with 10 cameras run in partnership with U.K.-based Intelligent Instruments. Since 2021, the city has issued more than 2,500 tickets with fines starting at $800 and escalating to $2,500 for repeat offenders. But actually getting people to pay the fines is another issue altogether. So far roughly $550,000 out of $2 million in fines has been collected. 'The noise code is city law,' said Rohit 'Rit' Aggarwala, the city's environmental protection commissioner. 'People have to figure out how to avoid violating.' Opponents say the cameras unfairly target drivers of factory-made performance cars. Harley rider James Alves, 56, received a warning despite never modifying his bike. 'If I see a couple walking a dog on the sidewalk, I pull my clutch in,' he said to WSJ. 'It's just another way to grab money.' Dentist Pat Morganti, 63, was fined when his Corvette Z06 registered 84.3 decibels on his way to see a patient. 'It's got a pretty obnoxious engine, but that's the way the car is made,' he said. New York insurance broker Anthony Aquilino was cited after his $315,000 Lamborghini Huracán hit 92 decibels. He says he was driving 25 mph to a prostate cancer awareness event and the noise came when he braked for a pothole. 'It's either don't drive the car in Manhattan, sell the car, or just keep getting noise-pollution tickets,' he said after losing his appeal. 'I can't change the way the car sounds.' Navy sailor Jonathon Zitt, 38, who imported his dream car, a 1994 Nissan Skyline GT-R from Japan, says his $250 ticket makes him think twice about retiring in Newport. 'That's not an option if I can't drive my car,' he said. 'I worked my whole life to buy this.' Some residents say they've already noticed an improvement, while police are considering whether to add warning signs of the cameras. Duffy says past noise warning signs backfired, prompting some motorcyclists to deliberately rev their engines in defiance - a kind of 'an acoustic middle finger,' as one resident described it. Newport has issued only a few dozen tickets so far, but the numbers are expected to rise fast. 'I think when you have success with enforcement, you'll be able to change the behavior,' Duffy said. For retirees like Bill Hogan, 73, who has lived in Newport for decades, the crackdown can't come fast enough

Call for 'ridiculous' 20mph Newport roads to revert to 30mph
Earlier this year, the council published a traffic regulation order (TRO) stating the council's intention to change the speed limit in 16 areas from 20mph back to 30mph. The TRO was open to comments from the public, to be considered by the council. A report published from Newport City Council by the Cabinet Member for Assets and Infrastructure, Rhian Howells, considered the responses to the TRO. Many roads are under consideration to return to 30mph (Image: Google) Whilst Caerphilly Road and Usk Road have been excluded from the changes due to the road's proximity to schools, seven other roads are due to change from 20mph to 30mph. Welsh government figures outline that collisions along roads that changed from 30mph to 20mph have decreased by 19 per cent in 2024 in comparison to figures from 2023. South Wales Argus reached out to members of the public to ask for their opinions on these changes. Dave Drewett believes 30mph limits should return to main roads (Image: Helen Turnbull) Dave Drewett, from Rogerstone, commented that he agrees with the 20mph roads around schools, 'but on main roads it should be at 30mph'. On the other hand, George McCan, a resident of Newport, noted that when he drives at 20mph in his electric vehicle, he uses very little battery. He said: 'There is a speed zone where the car charges itself whilst I'm driving, which is brilliant." Whilst he did agree that the majority of roads should go back to 30mph, he noted that 'so many people drive well over the speed limit', proposing that speed bumps and speed cameras should be installed to monitor this issue. From a pedestrian point of view, Michael McCartney noted that the 20mph speed limit is confusing because 'sometimes it was difficult to tell whether people were slowing down to meet the speed limit or to allow pedestrians to cross'. Steven Hendry, a resident of Newport for the past seven years, highlighted the environmental consequences of the 20mph limit: 'An older car going 20mph pollutes more than sitting at 30mph – that's why it was designed. So, when it went down to 20, all the cars end up polluting more because they are sitting at a slower speed and they're burning more fuel.' Steven also noted public transport slowing down. He said: 'I've noticed as well that my buses used to be every 15minutes, and now they are every 20 minutes. Because the buses are going slower, less buses are timetabled in the hour – it's impacted everything.'
