"Fife Council transportation manager Murray Hannah said the circles, created by Glasgow-based artist Nicola Atkinson, had been inspired by Sinclairtown pupils' experience of the journey to and from school.

''The designs for the junction will be placed where many pupils already walking to and from school cross the road and are intended to create unique 'feel' to the area and encourage drivers to be more attentive when travelling through the area,'' he said."
