Urgent action to make a junction safe before someone is killed is desperately needed, Angus Council has been warned.
Some motorists fail to stop at the crossroads and drive straight across, apparently oblivious of the Carnoustie junction in Muirdrum.
Local resident Alan Berg said it is “only a matter of time before somebody is killed” and called for a simple stop sign to be put in place to make drivers give way.
Mr Berg, who has lived in Muirdrum since 1987, has recorded many motorists on CCTV failing to stop and said the situation has not got any better.
An engineering investigation was carried out at the junction of the A930 and B9128 in Muirdrum in 2016 after Mr Berg’s “video nasties” went viral.
However, the realignment work — which would have cost £62,000 — was not considered “merited” by Angus Council, given the low accident record and councillors on the communities committee approved the recommendation of a ‘do nothing’ option.
Mr Berg said: “Things haven’t changed in two years and I’m surprised there hasn’t been a serious accident – I can only assume it’s a case of luck.
“I still feel it’s just a matter of time – there’s not a day goes by when someone doesn’t speed straight across the junction. It happens regularly, on a daily basis, and it’s not a case of ‘if’ but ‘when’.
“Any motorist that chooses to play chicken on this junction will be very lucky not to encounter another vehicle.
“It’s also a big issue for locals as they are risking the lives of themselves and their family every time they approach the junction.
“If or when there is a serious accident then the powers that be will say that lessons will be learned.”
Mr Berg’s latest video shows a car driver taking a leap of faith and driving straight through the crossroads at speed.
He has previously shared other videos with The Courier, including that of a red van skidding sideways to the junction in wet weather — with the driver barely pausing his conversation on a mobile phone.
The crossroads at Muirdrum is approached from the north on the B9128 and from the south on the A930.
The junction sits on a section of the old A92; leading to the east into Muirdrum village and to the west into what is now a section of the A92 Arbroath to Dundee cycle route.
Carnoustie Independent councillor Brian Boyd said: “I can only agree with Mr Berg’s valid worries.
“What I find infuriating is the Angus Alliance administration agreed to spend £250,000 on a simple bottle neck junction only four miles from the severely dangerous junction only a month ago using up this year’s budget.
“Angus residents can see yet again they have all their priorities wrong putting this pet project indulgence before safety, this following the reduced hours at recycling centres fiasco and the pending Angus car parking charges.
“Sadly it looks like we will have another four years of this shambles.”
An Angus Council spokesman said: “We would encourage anyone with concerns to contact us directly.
“However, on the basis of accident statistics that show the junction is not an accident cluster (specifically a location with two or more injury accidents between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2017), no intervention is merited at this time.”
