Atodlen: A48, Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr - Ni chaiff neb beri i unrhyw gerbyd gael ei yrru ar gyflymder dros 30mya o Gylchfan Picton Court yr A48 ar hyd Ffordd Osgoi'r A48 o Gylchfan Picton Court i Gylchfan Ewenni, Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr, ac o Ffordd Osgoi'r A48 o Gylchfan Ewenni i Gylchfan Broadlands am bellter o oddeutu 285 metr. Bydd eithriad i'r Gorchymyn yn berthnasol i gerbydau sydd wedi'u heithrio fel y'u diffinnir isod. Yn yr Hysbysiad hwn ystyr "cerbyd wedi’i eithrio" yw: (a) unrhyw gerbyd a ddefnyddir gan y gwasanaethau brys at y dibenion a ddisgrifir yn adran 87 Deddf Rheoleiddio Traffig Ffyrdd 1984; (b) unrhyw gerbyd sy’n cael ei ddefnyddio at ddibenion y llynges, y fyddin neu’r awyrlu ac a yrrir gan rywun dros gyfnod y gorchymyn sy’n aelod o luoedd arfog y Goron neu'r lluoedd arbennig- (i) cerbyd sy’n ymateb, neu ymarfer ymateb, i argyfwng diogelwch gwladol gan berson a hyfforddwyd i yrru’n gyflym: neu (ii) at ddibenion hyfforddi rhywun sy’n gyrru cerbydau'n gyflym. Ystyr “lluoedd arbennig” yw unedau o’r lluoedd arfog, y mae cynnal eu galluoedd yn gyfrifoldeb i Gyfarwyddwr y Lluoedd Arbennig, neu sydd ar y pryd yn ddarostyngedig i awdurdod gweithredol y Cyfarwyddwr hwnnw. Nid oes angen llwybrau amgen ar gyfer cerbydau gan fod hwn yn gyfyngiad cyflymder dros dro. Dyddiedig: 04/12/2025
