Award of Speed Reduction Measures PKC11424

Tender description

Perth and Kinross Council have implemented several temporary traffic calming measures and 20mph speed limits as part of it Spaces for People project. Funded by Scottish Government and managed by Sustrans Scotland, Spaces for People is a temporary infrastructure programme in Scotland offering funding and support to make it safer for people who choose to walk, cycle or wheel for permitted journeys and exercise, while physical distancing is in place during Covid-19 and as we transition out of lockdown. The temporary 20mph speed limit trials will help to protect public health by enabling safe physical distancing for essential journeys and exercise for everyone, in particular where there are spaces constraints or user safety concerns. The temporary speed limits can last up to 18 months. The addition of Speed Cushions and Build Outs will provide additional safety by further controlling speeds of vehicles in the vicinity of Meigle Primary School / Village Hall and Belmont Estate Woods. Therefore, Perth and Kinross Council would like temporary traffic calming measures in the form of Speed Cushions and Build Outs installed on the B954 Dundee Road, Meigle.
