Local residents have contacted me to ask whether the 40mph speed limit
on Linlathen Road could be reduced to 30mph. It
is the main access road to two housing areas that have a lot of children walking to
school. People also use this route for going
to the Brae riding centre and the neurodisability centre.
I
approached the City Development Department about it and I was told that the speed
limit on Linlathen Road was approved in 2007. As it had no direct frontage it
was considered that a 40mph speed limit was appropriate. A local speed limit review was carried out by the council on all A-class and
B-class roads in Dundee in 2011 but apparently as Linlathen Road is an
unclassified road it didn't feature in the review.
I
would be interested to hear from other local residents about what they think
the speed limit on this road should be.
