Can anyone advise why there have been 50 then 30mph speed limits on the A90 heading north from Dundee for 18months or so ?

Got fed up waiting on my 3rd email to be replied to so phoned them. They took my details and called me back to advise that it was Traffic Scotland who deal with speed restrictions.
I called them and got voicemail so emailed them. I received the response below …

Hi Kenny
Thank you for the enquiry below that has been passed to me to respond direct to you.
The speed limit restriction is to facilitate the SSE Seagreen works access and to allow safe movements of abnormal loads to the site, generally under Police Escort.
It is worth noting that there is a Legal Order in place for the speed restrictions and Police Scotland can therefore enforce.
I hope this helps?
Kind regards

I have now pointed out that I’ve not seen an abnormal load in two years, and have also asked how long they are likely to be in place for .

Watch this space ……

Yes, the random 50mph signs are, I think, leftover since they were doing some other work.
Thing is , just after the 50 sign northbound there is the NSL sign on a lamppost, that’s the one I go by.
