The question
To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2W-29 by Nicol Stephen on 2 June 2003, what road safety improvements are planned for the A90 around Laurencekirk and when such improvements will be carried out.
The answer
Following the implementationof the package of measures at the A90/A937 south junction, which I referred toin my answer to S2W-29, the junction was monitored to ascertain theireffectiveness. It has been concluded that some alterations to the signing andlining would be beneficial in increasing driver awareness. These changes willbe implemented during February 2004. The junction will continue to be monitoredand a CCTV camera will be installed to assist in this process once a suitableelectricity supply has been provided.
Analysis of the accidentfigures for the A90/937 north junction confirms that no further investigationof the junction is necessary at this time. However, accident figures for thejunction will continue to be monitored.
Road safety at the A90/B9120junction is currently being investigated by BEAR Scotland Ltd and a report isdue to be submitted to the Scottish Executive by the end of January 2004. Itis expected that any remedial measures identified will be progressed during2004-05.
