To minimise diversion of non-motorway traffic onto the local road network in the South Queensferry area, the approach road (A90) between Queensferry Junction (M90 J1A) and Scotstoun Junction (M90 J1) has been designated "special road". Traffic permitted to use this road includes Class 1, Class 11 and Class 1V vehicles as set out in the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984 – see www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1984/54/contents. This means that while the majority of motor vehicles can use this road; pedestrians, cyclists, motorcycles less than 50cc and other classes of non-motorised vehicles are restricted.
Public Transport Corridor and associated facilities:
Vehicles permitted to use the Forth Road Bridge can use the access roads indicated by 'PTC' on the map
Bus priority lanes are provided on the B800 to assist northbound bus movements between the A90 and the Forth Road Bridge.
Facilities for pedestrians and cyclists:
New and enhanced facilities for pedestrians and cyclists have been provided at the A904 around Queensferry Junction and on a section of the B800 from Dundas northwards
Cyclists are permitted to use the bus lanes on the B800
A footway/cycleway in Echline Fields passes under the Queensferry Crossing to provide an alternative rural means of crossing the M90 in the vicinity of the Queensferry Junction
Information regarding pedestrian and cycling facilities is provided in the 'Forth Road Bridge – Walking and Cycling Guide'.
