- Petition details
-
• Mainly terraced cottage in this narrow residential road are in a conservation area.• Only a narrow pavement on one side to enable pedestrian to access local amenities / public transport
• Drivers travel to/from all local areas / amenities, Dalmeny Station and A90 via Rosshill Terrace.
• Safety / wellbeing of residents being compromised.
• Majority of road users significantly exceed 20 MPH and driver furstation is growing. Gradula increase in traffic volume exacerbated by recent housing development / A90 pressures.
• Houses on Rosshill Terrace experience vibration / increased noise levels.
We propose the Council take the following actions in response to our concerns:
1. Clear and visible signage
• More 20MPH signage painted on roads.
• Signage immediately after roundabout (eastbound)
• Install vehicle activated sign indicating ‘slow down’
• Remove greenery obscuring signage
2. Road surface improvement
• Street used as overflow car park for Dalmeny Station resulting in road traffic only able to use W to E side of Road Mon-Fri causing excessive wear and tear to road surface including speed humps.
3. Junction Safety – improve visibility
• Install mirrors for drivers exiting Forth Terrace / Bankhead Grove onto Rosshill Terrace.
4. Pedestrian Safety crossing to railway platforms/bus stops.
• Extend double yellow lines form 16 Rosshill Terrace to Railway Station car park entrance.
• Install additional pedestrian warning signs.
5. Traffic monitoring.
• Install sensors to monitor traffic on Rosshill Terrace and use collected data to illustrate/inform necessary improvements to traffic calming measures.
6. Work in partnership with Police Scotland to address the issues highlighted in this petition. - Petition Status
