Ross demands action on misleading road signs
Moray MP Douglas Ross is demanding action on misleading road signs on the A96 at Forres. This follows complaints from a number of motorists who have been left confused by the lack of signs for the new junction from the A96 to Waterford, and that the old signs for Waterford have the effect of directing drivers into the car park of the new Forres railway station.
Commenting, Douglas said: “I’ve been contacted by constituents who are very concerned that since the new railway station was built, and a new road junction put in place to access Waterford, the old road signs are causing confusion to motorists. Drivers approaching from the east on their way to the waste disposal facility at Waterford or businesses nearby such as Benromach are directed into the car park of the railway station. At the actual junction there are still no road signs in either direction which is very unhelpful.”
Douglas added: “This is causing considerable confusion and I know that some businesses are reporting that customers are having real difficulty finding them. This needs to be corrected sooner rather than later and I am pursuing the relevant agencies to get something done about it as soon as possible.”
