The new lower 40mph speed limit on Riverside Drive and Riverside Avenue became a reality on Wednesday with the installation of the final few signs.
West End councillor Fraser Macpherson welcomed the old 50mph signs being taken down, albeit 24 hours behind schedule due to Monday’s snowfall.
He said: “The whole stretch of road from Invergowrie to Tesco Riverside is now completely re-signed with the new limit, together with large LCD temporary signage to highlight the new lower speed limit.
“Many residents have said that it would make sense for this part of Riverside Drive to have a lower speed limit.
“Crucially, not only will it lower speeds, it will also allow for the possibility of future pedestrian crossings for example at the playing fields and at Riverside Nature Park.
“The West End Community and Sports Hub has welcomed the speed limit reduction as a way of allowing a decent crossing at the Riverside Pavilion area, which will allow a much safer crossing for people participating in sport on both sides of Riverside Drive.”
