A92 road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The A92 is a major road in Fife, Scotland. It runs north east from its junction with the M90 motorway near Dunfermline past Cowdenbeath, Lochgelly, Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes, Ladybank and Newport-on-Tay. The road is a dual carriageway from the M90 to Glenrothes. It then changes to a single carriageway while it passes around the edge of the new town, and reverts back to dual carriageway for a short distance to the North of Glenrothes until it meets the A912 towards Perth and the A915 towards St Andrews. It then continues as a single carriageway again until a few miles short of the Tay Road Bridge.
It then crosses the Tay Road Bridge to Dundee and continues along the east coast past Monifieth, Carnoustie, Arbroath, Montrose, Inverbervie and the Fowlsheugh Nature Reserve before terminating at Stonehaven where it merges with the A90 for the final 15 miles to Aberdeen - this section acting mainly as a coastal tourist route for traffic bound for the Granite City. The 16-mile section of the road from Dundee to Arbroath was recently upgraded to dual carriageway standard; it opened in late 2005 and significantly reduced the journey time between the two towns. There was a lot of criticism locally of the 40mph speed limit on the dual carriageway stretch within the Dundee City boundary. Between Arbroath and Stonehaven the road is a single carriaegway apart from 2 very short sections of dual carriageway (near Gourdon and at the terminal junction with the A90).
The section of the A92 between Dundee and Aberdeen was formerly part of the Euroroute system, of route E120 which ran in a circular route between Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee and Perth.
