Now you see it? drivers say speed limit sign is ‘virtually invisible’

Drivers believe their safety is being put at risk by a “virtually invisible” speed limit sign, a councillor has warned.

The 30mph sign is on Dundee Road, Broughty Ferry, but the fact that it is written in white text on a yellow background is seemingly making it difficult to see.

Ferry councillor Laurie Bidwell said: “This is particularly crucial because it is the only sign which alerts drivers of the extension to the 30mph limit from that point as far as Margaret Crescent, where the 40mph speed limit begins.

“Perhaps as a result of this some drivers seem to be driving in an aggressive manner when they encounter a driver sticking to the extended 30mph speed limit.”

Mr Bidwell has written to the city council asking for the sign to be replaced by a more readable one.
