To ask the Scottish Executive when it expects to receive a response from the Accident Investigation and Prevention Unit following its meeting with Tayside Police to determine whether remedial safety measures need to be implemented on the A90 at Friarton Bridge.
The Accident Investigation and Prevention Unit has reported that discussions with Tayside Police about the fatal accident on the A90 at Friarton Bridge in November 2001 did not identify any road defect or requirement for specific engineering measures to be undertaken. Notwithstanding this report, BEAR Scotland Ltd has been asked to investigate the Friarton Bridge area in general, as part of the annual trunk road safety programme, to determine whether any measures could be introduced to improve safety at this location.
