The route of the B4253 near Penarth is somewhat confusing. At various times, maps show if following either Andrew Road or Barry Road (including the loop of Old Barry Road) between the A4055 and A4160 at Cogan to the west of Penarth. It then seems to briefly settle on the former route when the A4055 is itself diverted along Barry Road, before disappearing completely from maps. It is not yet clear whether this slightly schizophrenic nature is because the route moved or because the two roads are so close that map makers made simple errors in their cartography.
