Speed limit trial being introduced in Kinross-shire to allay pupil safety fears
08.02.2022 - 15:21 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A 40mph speed limit trial is being introduced on the A911 east of Scotlandwell.
Locals fear for schoolkids’ lives as they await school buses outside their homes along the 60mph route with its blind summits and corners.
A call was made for the speed limit to be reduced from 60mph to 40mph between Scotlandwell and the Fife boundary at Auchmuirbridge.
The newly created Kinross-shire Committee took the decision at its inaugural meeting on January 20.
Council data showed 90 vehicles a day going over 60mph.
Local resident Mr Lowrey told the committee there were 15 to 20 schoolkids on any given day getting on and off a bus and having to cross the road.

Mr Lowrey described the road as too dangerous to walk along the side of which was “not the best” for the environment.
He said: “Every time we have to go for a pint of milk we have to take the car.”
Kinross-shire Lib Dem councillor and keen cyclist Willie Roberston revealed he too would not use active travel on this route.
He said: “If I am happy to cycle a road, I think it’s safe. I’ve cycled nearly every road in Kinross-shire but I’ve never ever cycled this section.”
PKC’s head of environment and consumer services Mark Butterworth said there was a “big demand” for road safety schemes across Perth and Kinross.
He told the committee: “We have got approximately 800 schemes on our database.”
The report put before the committee recommended the A911 forms part of a Route Action Plan with a further report brought before a future committee.
The committee would then meet to agree to any

Joe Rogan controversy: Ex-Mumford & Sons member compares calls to nix Spotify podcast to Soviet-era censorship
Former Mumford & Sons band member Winston Marshall released a lengthy essay comparing calls for action against Joe Rogan’s podcast on Spotify to Soviet-era censorship. On Thursday, Marshall released an essay on Substack with the title "When Artists Become the Censors" in which he criticizes artists like Neil Young, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Joni Mitchell, Nils Lofgren and India Arie, all of whom have pulled their music off Spotify until it addresses misinformation on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast. In his essay, Marshall begins by discussing the state of music censorship in the Soviet Union in 1984 before comparing it to the conditions that Spotify is facing today as calls for it to pull Rogan’s work mount. He even called out Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who previously voiced their "concerns" about misinformation on Spotify. "Of course, Spotify is a private company; they’re under no obligation to platform anybody.
