Assurances on road safety markings


I have today welcomed assurances from the City Council that worn road junction markings coming out of the Logie Estate are to be refreshed in the near future.

Back in February, at the request of local residents, I raised with the City Council’s Roads Maintenance Partnership the fact that the white lines at the exit of Elm Street to the very busy Blackness Road were worn to such an extent that they are no longer barely visible.   It is important in terms of road safety that junction lines are clear to drivers.    Given this is still outstanding, I asked the City Council for an assurance the work will be done soon.

The City Council has advised me:

“An order was raised some time ago to re-do the junction markings at the Elm Street/ Blackness Road junction however due to a backlog of lining work this has not yet been done. Tayside Contracts are currently working through the programmed list of lining work and this junction is included and will be done as part of this.”
