I have been contacted by residents in Balgillo Road about
possible traffic calming measures on the section of road between between Gillies
Terrace and the sharp bend that leads onto Arbroath Road and Claypotts junction.
In recent weeks there has been two accidents, the most recent one resulting in damage
to the wall and gate of a nearby house. These are not isolated events as I
aware there has been damage to adjacent properties in the past due to drivers
losing control of their vehicles around the sharp bend.
It
has been suggested to me that a small refuge island with bollards and red and
white ladder markings similar to those recently installed along Happyhillock
Road would be beneficial to road safety.
This would highlight the tight bend, slow traffic down and allow the
local residents to feel safer.
