THE traffic lights at the bottom of Ardrossan are set to be improved with the addition of a filter lane to curb the traffic coming from the harbour area.

Those who are coming from Arran, Asda or the area around the marina and harbour will have extra time to turn towards the direction of Saltcoats.

A North Ayrshire Council spokesperson said: “We are currently in the process of installing filter arrows at the junction of Glasgow Street and Princes Street in Ardrossan to help ease the flow of traffic exiting the harbourside area.

“Additionally, we are installing a similar filter arrow at the junction of High Road and Dalry Road, Saltcoats, to help aid the movement of traffic.”

The changes are set to come into place in the near future.
