I got caught in lane three once exactly as you say . That makes lane three pretty much useless when it's busy, as it only starts a few car lengths before the roundabout and then it gets blocked on the roundabout as you say. In effect there's only one lane's worth of capacity for the A9 south movement which is fairly rubbish. I'm not sure what the solution is, but maybe it would be possible to change the signal timings or sequencing somehow so that A9 south traffic on the roundabout (from lane three) doesn't get blocked. Extending the third lane back from the roundabout by say 200 metres on the A9 southbound might also help, and marking lane one for Perth, lane two for A9 south, lane three for A9 south and the industrial estate. Another much cheaper bodge might be to paint a yellow box on the roundabout at the conflict point.
It's been there a while. Visible on street view but a bit worn out.owen b wrote: ↑Fri Nov 05, 2021 20:25I don't remember it being there but my maybe my memory's bad.
