MSP to push for crossing on busy Glenurquhart Road in Inverness

He said other measures were suggested for improving road safety, but officials reiterated that they did not see a controlled crossing, such as a pelican crossing, as an option.

“I’m going back to the constituents who contacted me about this and I will continue to support them in their push for a controlled crossing on this road,” said Mr Stewart, who represents Labour in the Highlands and Islands.

“I appreciate Transport Scotland saying there have not been many accidents on this stretch of the A82, but my point is all about accident prevention.

“Why wait until there is a bad accident to make the area safer for all?”
