Moray MP Douglas Ross has succeeded in gaining a commitment from Transport Scotland to review road signs and road markings at a dangerous junction in Craigellachie. Douglas was contacted by a member of the Craigellachie Village Council who said that local people were very concerned about the possibility of a serious accident.
Douglas said: “The Spey Road junction with the A95 is very dangerous and the village council came up with a number of very good options for making it safer. I wrote to the Transport Minister highlighting these suggestions and received a reply from Transport Scotland promising to review the current signs and road markings at the junction. They have also committed to liaising with Moray Council to ensure a joined-up approach. This is a step in the right direction and welcome news.”
Douglas added: “An inevitable result of the continuing success of our local businesses in Speyside is more commercial vehicles on the road. Increasing tourism is also making the roads busier. It is therefore vital that the road infrastructure is capable of managing increased activity on the roads and making a start with enhanced safety measures seems a sensible approach.”
