Commuters face six more years of misery at the Sheriffhall roundabout despite the expected go-ahead for a flyover at the notorious junction

The City Bypass has got nothing to do with bringing more traffic into the city! It is all about providing a major link for a continuous flow of heavy-duty vehicles, work vans and cars, around the city and onwards on their journey. It keeps traffic OUT of the city. Until we find an alternative for the transport of essential heavy goods and people going about their daily work, the City Bypass is essential. The queues that build-up on the approaches to Sheriffhall create massive pools of pollution. They also cause stress to all drivers which is dangerous too. As my (long deceased) father said when this road finally opened many years ago, “It should have been three lanes and is not big enough to deal with future traffic.” Every time I am stuck on the bypass or queuing at Sheriffhall, I think of those words. Get real councillors! When did you last use this route for work?

I don't believe it would bring more cars into the city. What it would do is reduce congestion and therefore emissions. But the council will do whatever they like.

There's a clue in the name...by pass. Whoever planned that roundabout or indeed the whole bypass with roundabouts with lights, was useless. I could tell when it was being built that it was just going to end up a big car park. Chose the cheap option other than flyovers.

The traffic at Old Craighall has got worse since the traffic lights were added. This flyover will only make old Craighall even worse, and won't help with congestion at Straiton and Fairmilehead.
