A90 road
The
A90 is a major road in
Scotland. It runs from
Edinburgh to
Fraserburgh in
Aberdeenshire.
From Edinburgh, it travels west and over the
Forth Road Bridge, before turning into the
M90 motorway. At
Perth, the M90 again becomes the A90, now running north east to
Dundee,
Forfar,
Brechin,
Stonehaven,
Aberdeen and
Peterhead on its way to Fraserburgh.
The Dundee to Aberdeen stretch of the A90 (60miles) is
notorious for speed cameras. Unusually, the 60mile trip from Dundee to Aberdeen along the A90 entails 11-13 Gatso speed cameras and various mobile speed vans.
The A90 was extended considerably in the early
1990s, as it originally stopped at
Inverkeithing. The former
A85 went from Perth to Dundee, the A929 Kingsway went through Dundee and then towards Forfar, the A94 went from Forfar to Stonehaven, and the
A92 from Stonehaven to Fraserburgh—the A92 did not go to Peterhead.
