More than a quarter of a million pounds is to be spent upgrading the A92 in Fife.
The money from BEAR Scotland should lead to road safety improvements at 21 locations, including Bankhead and Preston roundabouts and Cadham and Balfarg junctions in Glenrothes.
However, while the investment has been welcomed, safety campaigners say it is not enough and have renewed their call for the dualling of the Preston-to-Balfarg section.
They have now pledged to continue to pressure local MSPs and the Scottish Government for the major work they say is needed to ensure greater road safety.
Members of the Glenrothes Area Futures Group (GAFG) met representatives from Transport Scotland and BEAR to discuss an accident-reduction plan for the road.
The officials said white lines at the chief Glenrothes junctions would be improved, along with road markings at the roundabouts to help with lane discipline.
GAFG spokesman Ron Page said: “This in essence means that slight improvements, costing £256,000, are envisaged over the next year for the whole Fife section of the A92. This sum is even less than has been available in previous years but GAFG has endorsed the projected improvements over 21 locations.
“Although we all welcome this, it is not what we would all wish and there is nothing for the dualling of the Preston-to-Balfarg road, which we still say is unfit for purpose.
“The roundabouts and junctions here still cause problems and we envisage increasing problems and frustration when the biomass plant opens at Tullis Russell.”
Mr Page added that while the planned improvements were very minor, they were still important as they would result in clearer lane guidance and better signage at the Glenrothes roundabouts.
“The Transport and BEAR Scotland officials admitted they had no money for any major improvements but that those they had specified would indeed bring about greater safety,” he said.
“This the GAFG members accepted and indeed praised them for what they were able to do with their tiny budget. We have agreed that only political pressure on MSPs and the Scottish Government will bring the improvements needed.”
