Roads (Hansard, 27 October 1992)

§ Mr. Menzies Campbell
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects to introduce experimental traffic measures at Dairsie.

§ Lord James Douglas-Hamilton
Traffic-calming measures for Dairsie have recently been approved by the Scottish Office roads directorate and the necessary signing/road marking authorisation and revised speed limit order are presently being processed. On completion of these procedures, the "village gateway" measures will be implemented as soon as is practical.

§ Mr. Menzies Campbell
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement about the progress of the Auchtermuchty bypass.

§ Mr. James Douglas-Hamilton
The preparation work for the Auchtermuchty bypass is at a stage where it could be quickly completed, but no funding opportunity has presently been identified for the scheme and therefore no further action is being taken at this time.

§ Mr. Menzies Campbell
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what assessment he has made of the capacity of the trunk roads which pass through Cupar and their ability to accommodate projected traffic flows by the year 2000.

§ Lord James Douglas-Hamilton
A transportation study to address trunk road capacity and other matters in Cupar was recently carried out by the Scottish Office roads directorate and Fife regional council. This exercise included consideration of both a bypass and an inner relief road in relation to the medium and longer-term needs of the A91 trunk road. An evaluation of the findings of the report is currently under way to determine how best to meet the requirements of Cupar and the trunk road.
