No new speed limit signs on Monifieth Road

I have been contacted by residents who are concerned about the lack of signage on the A930 Monifieth Road/Dalhousie Road indicating that a new 30mph speed limit is in place.
Ultimately drivers should follow 30mph where street lighting is installed unless repeater signage indicate otherwise, however the council had requested 'NEW 30 MPH SPEED LIMIT IN FORCE' signs to be erected when the new speed limit was introduced at the end of March but unfortunately these have not yet appeared.
 I understand Police Scotland has advised the council’s City Development Department that it is still experiencing drivers appearing to raise their speed in this area and that it supports the idea to install these additional informatory and regulatory signs. Arrangements are now being made to have these installed as soon as practically possible.
