Dangerous road junctions

Junctions between roads can be danger spots or bottlenecks stopping the steady flow of traffic.  It is part of our role to decide which type of junction would be best, for example, a T-junction or roundabout, and the form of control, for example, priority or signalised.

Maintaining and improving junctions makes up a significant proportion of our work.

The Council has a continuing programme of schemes to improve the safety and operation of the highway network. Many of these schemes originate from requests made by the public.

As well as concerns about the safety of individual road junctions, there are requests for pedestrian crossing facilities, speed restraint measures (such as road humps), and minor issues such as new warning signs.

If you would like to report a junction, which you feel is dangerous, or if you feel speed restriction measures need to be implemented on a certain road, please telephone Customer Services on  0141 577 3001.
