The A96 trunk road still runs through the town of Keith, and the powers that be have decided to carry out extensive road works on it, resulting in long queues of traffic at busy times. They have also blocked off the ends of most of the lanes which cross the street. One of the 'Road Closed' signs is visible at right. There are signs saying that no diversion is available, but local drivers know a myriad of rat-runs through the narrow streets, otherwise the congestion would be far longer.
