Gallowden Road, East Muirlands Road, Gallowden Avenue and Gallowden Crescent residents are being asked for their views on a proposal to install traffic calming measures on Gallowden Road, Arbroath between East Muirlands Road and the Westway.

The proposal involves the installation of 4 75mm high speed humps on Gallowden Road. It is envisaged that the proposed speed humps will reduce the speed of traffic between east Muirlands Road and Westway.

It is envisaged that the proposed speed humps will reduce the speed of traffic between East Muirlands Road and the Westway and will discourage traffic from using Gallowden Road as a short cut.
