Community group in plea for photographs to improve safety at notorious junction

A community group is appealing for photos and videos of a notorious road bend which runs through an Aberdeen suburb in an effort to improve its safety.

The Culter Community Council is hoping to compile evidence of dangerous traffic situations developing at the sharp junction of Malcolm Road and North Deeside Road.

The members then plan to take the footage they have gathered to the city council to appeal for action to be taken.

The corner, close to a Spar supermarket, is particularly problematic for drivers of heavy goods vehicles, who often struggle to make it around the acute angle of the turning in one manoeuvre.

Community councillor Barry Wink said: “Something needs to be done.

“We had the situation at the beginning of the year with all of the flooding, and a lorry jackknifed on the corner, so nothing could come into Culter from the West and traffic was completely gridlocked all the way back to the Aberdeen side, preventing ease of access for the emergency services.

“So God forbid that happens and someone is in dire need of an ambulance or the fire brigade.

“The council needs some sort of traffic order out to make this safe before something terrible happens.”

Aberdeen City Council infrastructure convener, Neil Cooney, said: “We have examined this junction on a number of occasions, however due to the gradients of both the A93 and Malcolm road, it is not feasible for any physical changes to be made to the existing junction.

“The introduction of the AWPR will offer an alternative route that enhances road safety.”

The group has asked anyone with dashcam footage or photographs of motorists struggling at the junction to e-mail info@cultercc.org.uk
