You'd like to thing that those in charge as well as thinking about motorists would spare a thought for other road users. Everyone knows that designing things right int he first place is cheaper than retrofitting later.
It can be done - look at the path coming off the away from the feeder lanes. So build in. So hard - and expesive to retrofit. |
But lethal for cyclists.
There are cyclists who regularly use the A90. Their needs have simply not been included in the design process.
Transport Scotland point to NESTRANS who point to the Councils.
I've news for them - safety of all road users is the responsibility of all of them.
Let's hope they don't learn the hard way.
