Port of Lerwick: approach roads and traffic
Port of Lerwick (LER) is one of the 28 ports UK Live Traffic watches. It handles ferries and cruise ships. The live map shows the ships arriving, alongside and leaving; this page is about the roads.
Its traffic joins the main roads at A970 / Holmsgarth Road (60%) and A970 / South Road (40%). On the live map, tapping the port and then its Road forecast estimates the vehicles that ferries and cruise ships which have just berthed should put on those junctions over the next 90 minutes.
