Getting things done – Perth Road #dundeewestend

Some time ago, I requested that the additional Moveable Vehicle Activated Signs on Perth Road near Sinderins – to encourage all motorists to drive below the 30mph limit – be moved further west as they were too close to the Sinderins junction.

This was done and moved near the Rockfield Street junction but the signs are currently not working because – I suspect – of the need for battery recharge.

I have had an assurance from the City Council that the signs will be checked and necessary action to get them working again will be taken.
