Official Nelmsy Campus Countdown

You do understand that there's the option to alter traffic light sequencing to allow increased flow in particular directions at particular times? They're all electronically managed these days.

How many cars / buses do you actually think will be using that route given that the proposed car park would hold around 350 total?

Just so I understand, if you come down from Broughty Ferry do you have to use the Myrekirk Roundabout to go back up the Kingsway to access the new stadium? In fact is that not the point that all traffic trying to get into the Stadium will have to use the Myrekirk Roundabout. As I say, I don't know. Sequencing of traffic flows seems to work but there are times of high demand when even that can't keep the traffic flowing, at least that's been my experience.

Not 100% true that you would have to use the Myrekirk roundabout to access the proposed new stadium. There's a planned access proposed off Coupar Angus Road at the bottom of Faraday Street. I'll caveat however by saying I haven't properly looked at the revised plan without the training pitches and have no idea what police / council plans would be for traffic management before and after events.

As has been pointed out very few cars or buses will actually look to access the proposed stadium car park as it only has planned space for around 350 vehicles. Most home fans will find better places to park on the street nearby, where there will be ample for everyone, and many will walk or get a bus. Most away fans will also learn in time that parking on the local streets will be a much better option.

FOI came back saying that the council were waiting on responses relating to the application (since June).

Bob Hynd told us at Dee4life board of directors meeting in late 2018 that Police Scotland wanted all the cars and buses of spectators attending football matches at the new stadium at Campy Nou to be parked in the stadium car parks.
Police Scotland did not want spectators cars and buses parked in the streets on the other side of the A90 Kingsway from the new stadium.

That's just completely impractical and Police Scotland have no authority to tell anyone with a properly road fund license paid vehicle where to park or not provided of course that the vehicle is not parked in an otherwise, clearly designated, restricted area.

Police Scotland will likely be asked for their views on a full planning application regarding parking in the surrounding areas if the Campy Nou stadium car parks have only 350 available car parking spaces.

How many Xplore Dundee bus routes and buses per hour on a Saturday go near the new stadium compared to Dens Park.
The first wet day with heavy rain will decimate the attendance as spectators will not be prepared to get soaked walking a long distance to reach the new stadium at Campy Nou.

The plan includes a bus stop, pretty sure xplore Dundee would divert buses to cover that stop.

One route goes immediately past Dens Park on match days - the number 1. Other routes pass nearby, possibly as near as other routes that are currently running to the area of the proposed new stadium.

Having said all that I reckon we'll all be getting around on hover boards by the time any new stadium gets opened for the club.
