INCHTURE — Traffic cones on the A90 contraflow near Inchture were seen “visibly relaxing” during Thursday’s bright spells, a day before the works are due to end.
“They’ve had four weeks of Dundee and Perth drivers glaring at them,” said a roads worker. “Give them twenty minutes in the sun. They’ve earned it.”
The cones are expected to be moved on Saturday to an undisclosed location, rumoured to be Riggs Road.
