Shocking Fencing Situation Along The N9 Entrance Into Aberdeen From Willowmore

Approaching Aberdeen from Willowmore direction by road, approximately 70 metres of fencing on the outskirts of Aberdeen Town has been removed, and this gives access to animals to wander onto the N9. This area has also been illegally established as an alternative dumping site!!

Further along on this same N9 route, approximately 70 metres of broken and destroyed fencing also gives access onto the road by animals. This should have been reported to the Roads Department by the Municipality a long time ago. The speed limit along this road is from 100 to 120 kilometres per hour, which is fast enough for some unsuspecting motorist to possibly have an accident trying to avoid an animal.

So, if you are traveling on this route from the direction of Willowmore into Aberdeen, and you see this road sign as pictured, please slow down to a comfortable speed which might enable you to avoid whatever crosses the road in your path.
Once again this only goes to show a monumental lack of control, neglect and poor management by the appointed people, who are supposed to keep Aberdeen clean, well maintained and law abiding.
