A DESIGN by a Gwynedd teenager will take pride of place on road signs the length and breadth of Wales, after he won a national competition.
With less than a month until the new 20mph speed limit is introduced on restricted roads in Wales, Noa Williams’ striking red dragon design will draw motorists’ attention to the new arrangements.
These are being introduced by Welsh Government from September 17.
The Ysgol Ardudwy pupil was invited to the Senedd, where he received his prize and an image of the final plan.
Noa said: “I was really happy that my design was chosen out of all the designs presented.
“I am looking forward to seeing my work on signs across Wales.”

Cllr Dafydd Meurig, Gwynedd Council’s environment cabinet member, added: “Huge congratulations to Noa on his success.
“It is great that his striking red dragon design will be seen in communities all over Wales by September, to remind motorists of the new speed restrictions.”
The current 30mph speed limits will be reduced to 20mph in most sites in Gwynedd. But with some roads where there is justification, the restrictions will remain at 30mph.
