“"To all commented and anyone wishing to comment further, at this time may god be by the side of the family whom have suffered a very tragic loss and may his soul rest in peace."

Let's try to put this as simple as possible; we can in nearly all cases say that the motorist is most likely at fault.

1) Someone walking home from a night out drinking and able to reach the location for example of this latest fatality (god forbid again), was relatively in stable state even under the influence and to attempt the journey of a long walk. If relatively stable but maybe under the influence or not, would he/she jumps out in front of approaching car if so close? Most likely not. Perhaps if he saw the vehicle at a distance he/she felt just could make it, most will take the chance. But it then boils down to how fast be the vehicle travelling and the driver's reaction to braking and swerving to final approach of the pedestrian. Maturity age should be linked to the access of cars that people should be able to drive, even if you pay the insurance premium, drivers should not be able to behind the wheel of high performance cars. All insurance companies could find a solution to this.

But if the council was not fully at fault, then the pedestrian 99% wouldn't take chance, in turn the vehicle wouldn't face such situations. It is totally down to the council now, from both sides, readers don't get me wrong; I left Swansea years ago but come home once in a while and have seen Fabian Way lately. In my growing up, I have driven many sports cars from the age of 17-24 and 2-3 times faced the same situation on Fabian Way with pedestrians who have been on a night out and me travelling at excessive speeds and many other locations in Swansea where I have been racing sport vehicles. But as others have mentioned, where on Fabian Way cross bridges are required and pedestrian crossings at traffic lights, they are there, but the rest of the road where pedestrians feel it a shortcut, yes they shouldn't cross but they do when a journey is wet, cold and windy then a shortcut is the answer. But the council is now after so many fatalities to be 100% at fault for the next one (god forbid) if they spend the money on a useful project to barricade/or an alternative type of central height obstruction even though it will be quite expensive due to the length and the nature of the entire Fabian Way which must to be considered with previously teenagers making risky crossings from Jersey Marine over to the Dunes the money spent will prevent loosing lives in the future.

THE COUNCIL SHOULD SPEND THIS MONEY; THEY SPEND IT ON OTHER LESS USEFULL PROJECTS THAN ONE OF THIS KIND.

ALL THE FAMILIES GOING BACK TO THE START OF LOVED ONES LOST ON THIS BUSY AND DANGEROUS CITY MAIN LINK ROAD AND ALL READERS/PEDESTRIANS/MOTORISTS GET AN EXTREMELY STRONG PETITION AND ENFORCE THE COUNCIL TO PLAN AND EXECUTE THIS PROJECT...”

“@rhevmaca Why do you think they closed both carriageways? I'm sure both the driver and victim weren't thinking "Let's keep this on one carriageway shall we so as not to inconvenience rhevmaca"..”

“Maybe consideration should be given to extending the city centre CCTV system to incorporate this main thoroughfare.”

“Ah, Subaru Impreza.

Enough said.”

“Fabian way has claimed many many lives over the years, and will continue to do so unless measures are taken to bring the death toll down. this latest incident is yet another young person losing their life on this extremely dangerous main road. I may be wrong and speculating but there are probably two contributing issues here. Firstly the deceased man was hit by a very powerful car, a subaru imprezza,probably about 220+ bhp. a SPEED MACHINE.
being that accident was late on a saturday night, the deceased probably tried to cross the road and thought he had enough time, and been out for a good night on the beer.
Very Very sad. something has to be done NOW about this carriageway.”

“Can someone explain to me why both carriageways were closed to investigate this unfortunate accident?”

“Whilst this is another tragic loss of life, I dont think it is fair to automatically blame the motorist. On this occasion we dont know what happened and on other occasions it hasnt always been the motorist's fault. Fabian Way is a very busy main road. I wouldnt fancy taking my chances crossing it but yet plenty do. Before people start demanding bridges and crossings there should probably be some consideration for how many people actually do need to to cross it on foot. I can understand nearer the town end where people may want to cross from SA1 over to St Thomas etc but further up? Is there really any demand for it? Any unnecessary stoppages is just going to cause more traffic backlog making the already arduous task of getting into Swansea even more difficult. I am not suggesting that lives should be sacrificed for convenience and if there is sufficient demand, then fine, look at it but this would seem to be a knee jerk reaction. At that time of night, in reality the road would have been pretty quiet and I suspect a high percentage of pedestrians would have "taken their chances" on crossing the road rather than using an bridge even if in place. It is a very busy road yet sometimes people forget that. People have become lazy and they cant be bothered to walk to a designated crossing, preferring instead to run across wherever it suits them. In those circumstances, pedestrians have to also take responsibility. Do we really need to be barricaded everywhere in order to know if things are safe or not??”

“well said peter, people always have a knee jerk reaction against motorists when the motorist isn`t usually the cause, you could blame the motorist if it happened on a pavement.”

“How about asking the police to introduce on the spot fines for any pedestrian seen crossing the road on a non-designated spot. It's about time something was done as every day I drive to and from work I see people legging it across the road risking the traffic. sometimes having to brake/stop to allow them to cross. This not only generates a backlog but it could cause another horrible accident.
It's terrible that someone has died again and I feel for the family, but it really is about time barriers were erected and fines introduced, keeping pedestrians and vehicles away from each other. There's plenty of crossings available on fabian way, it just means walking those extra few yards.
I'm not portioning blame here, I just feel that either side can be as dangerous as each other and should be kept apart for safety reasons.”

“There is something terribly wrong with this road. People keep dying in more or less the same places on this stretch of road. It's been like this since its creation in the early 1950s.”
