Agree with the previous poster - this junction is very dangerous. Poor vis on ramp & from underpass, high speed traffic exiting from the underpass, is a recipe for disaster. Please fix this before someone is seriously injured or maybe even killed ! Are you familiar with the risk/hazard triangle...well we've seen so many near misses here, an accident is due & it's only a matter of time before one is fatal
Offensive? Unsuitable? Tell us

No - no action taken & not even an acknowledgement that there is a problem. Had another near miss the other night with a Range Rover (H20 HB - I think - he was going that fast it was hard to catch)...SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE HURT OR KILLED HERE...and it seems nobody cares (yet !)
There has been correspondence to say that the matter is being looked into - but no timescales have been given or progress advised...I am hopeful tho!?!
No further contact on the proposal to improve things...disappointing. Hope it gets fixed before someone is hurt.
There are now even more direction indicatgors flattened her, loose gravel all over the road (skid hazard) & even one rock the size of a football on the off ramp south - this whole junction is a disgrace, another accident waiting to happen.
No change - still a very dangerous junction to use - still waiting for the promised fix !!!!
PROMISES WERE MADE ABOUT CHECKS AND FIXES, BUT THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG AS THE NEAR MISSES CONTINUE ON A DAILY BASIS - THE HAZARD TRIANGLE SUGGESTS AN ACCIDENT IS IMMINENT - MAYBE FATAL?
Promises made but broken, no improvements seen here & daily reports from the residents of Portlethen/A90 users of near misses...it's only a matter of time before the inevitable happens - are you listening Aberdeenshire Council/SMH/Bear ?
Not much done at the 'junction of death'...apart from wasting some money on grassing a footpath ! & putting down one set of arrows (out of 8 approaches !)

NOBODY CARES...& NO ONE WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY !
ABSOLUTELY NOT FIXED !
THERE IS A STAGE 4 ROAD SAFETY AUDIT WHICH ADVISES THAT IMPROVEMENTS SHOULD BE MADE. THE COUNCIL & BEAR HAVE DECIDED OTHERWISE - SO IF YOU HAVE AN ACCIDENT THERE, I'D ASK TO SEE THE AUDIT REPORT !
