Consultation
We've put together proposals for the H9 Groveway/Simpson Drive junction to improve road safety here which will include:
A right turn ban into Simpson Drive from the H9
- Safer access for road users turning right out of Simpson Drive
- Traffic signs and road marking renewal and upgrades
This stretch of the H9 has been identified after a history of collisions and near misses involving right turn movements in and out of Simpson Drive.
The aim of the scheme is to provide a safer environment for vehicles travelling on this stretch of the H9, and to provide safer egress from Simpson Drive.
You can view the proposals on the document below:
