The family of a boy killed on the A92 in Fife made an emotional plea for safety enhancements to the road as a campaign shifted up a gear.
Nine-year-old Logan Carrie’s mother Sionaid Brown and grandparents Robert and Alice Brown attended a public meeting aimed at driving forward action on the trunk road where there has been 17 fatal accidents in a decade.
The Glenrothes youngster was struck by a car on the busy road between the Balfarg and Cadham junctions on February 10.
Alice Brown tearfully told the meeting: “Anything that can be done to prevent someone else going through what our family has gone through is a step in the right direction.”
Her husband said changes were needed at the Balfarg junction, which he said was a “complete nightmare”.
He said: “There should be a double roundabout there, not a single roundabout and we also need a pedestrian crossing at the junction.”
Heartbroken Mr Brown has already called for immediate improvements to that section of the road and wrote to former transport secretary Keith Brown.
He also wants traffic lights at the junction and improved street lighting.
An investigation is ongoing into the death of Logan, a pupil at Pitcoudie Primary School, who is thought to have run on to the road through a gap in a hedge.
