The question

To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will erect a stop sign in order to control traffic joining the A1 trunk road from Torness Power Station.

The answer

Answered by Lewis Macdonald on 21 Feb 2002 · 14 days after it was lodged, on time

Stop signs and markings are only considered where visibility at a junction is severely restricted. The Scottish Executive has no plans to erect a sign at this location, as it does not satisfy this requirement. An Accident Investigation and Prevention study carried out at the A1/Torness Power Station junction in 2001 recommended measures to improve safety and these have now been implemented.
