Perthshire community representatives are pushing to have a series of road safety measures introduced on the A9 near Dunkeld including a new roundabout at a junction described as being an “absolute nightmare” for motorists at the moment.
Members of two groups with an interest in the Scottish Government and Transport Scotland’s progress on their ambitious A9 dualling programme provided details of the kinds of measures they wish to see introduced on the road at the most recent meeting of Dunkeld and Birnam Community Council (DBCC).
They include a new roundabout at a junction in the road leading to Dunkeld at which one community council member, Alan Wylie, complained he could spend over half an hour waiting at peak times to get turned onto or off the A9 the way the road is set out at the moment.
