According to the Police, a combination of cameras and lowering of speed has made a significant improvement to the accident rate from the Flouch to the beginning of the bypass. Some people think such measures should be introduced on the bypass, for example, a lower speed limit near exits

What do you think about this suggestion?

 

There is a lot of conflicting argument about whether the road should be made into a dual carriageway. What is your opinion? Please give your reasons.
