Important crossroads on the Nairn by-pass is resurfaced

The Cawdor-Auldearn road is the poor man's Nairn By-pass these days. The crossroads where this road crosses the A939 Grantown road at Foynesfield can be very busy at times. It has recently been resurfaced and widened perhaps when one takes a good look at the picture. A regular gurnite asks why a small pavement area couldn't have been put in for pedestrians. If we are ever to get people out of their cars then cyclepaths/footways will have to be provided on this type of road. Some will say of course there is no money for such at the moment. Well there's no money for a real by-pass as well but it doesn't stop it being officially on the wish list. One wonders if there is a wish list for road-side footpaths/cycleways in the Highlands?
