D-block GB-336000-732000
1986 Traffic in and out
We carried out a census of traffic on
the Kingsway, a dual carriageway
running from east to west on the
outskirts of Dundee and passing
through our area of study. We watched
the traffic at the junction with
Coupar Angus Road. Of the traffic
travelling north on the Coupar Angus
Road the most common vehicle was the
car. We felt that most of the
travellers would be heading for
Blairgowrie or Alyth or perhaps to
some of the smaller villages on the
way.Of the traffic heading south,
again the majority were cars, and we
thought they were probably heading
into Dundee for work or shopping. What
vans we saw were either Post Office
vans delivering letters and parcels,
or Securicor vans which patrol the
factories in the area.

In 2011 the BBC published the survey online and for six months invited updates to the photographs and text to celebrate the 25th anniversary.
Shortly afterwards the website was added to The National Archives’ UK Government Web Archive.
