Neilson, Temporary Speed Limit Reduction Due To Increased Heavy Goods Vehicle Traffic

East Renfrewshire Council

(KINGSTON ROAD & HIGH STREET, NEILSTON) (TEMPORARY 20mph SPEED LIMIT) ORDER 2025

On the 14 April 2025 the Council made the above named Order under Section 14 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, as amended by the Road Traffic (Temporary Restrictions) Act 1991 and of all other enabling powers, in the interests of safety due to the expected substantial increase of heavy goods vehicles travelling along the busy urban sections of Kingston Road and High Street, Neilston, consequent to the opening of a new quarry in the vicinity of Neilston, which will make use of these section of roads.

The Order authorises a reduction of the speed limit from 30mph to 20mph to be applied on the following section of the road when such a restriction is identified as applying to that road by means of the display of appropriate traffic signs as prescribed by the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD) 2016:

(i) Kingston Road from a point 90m or thereby south of its junction with Glen Shee Avenue to High Street, a distance of 760 metres or thereby.

(ii) High Street, Neilston from Kingston Road to its junction with Main Street, a distance of 252 metres or thereby.

The Order will come into operation on 22 April 2025 and will remain in operation for a maximum period of 18 months if required, as permitted by legislation.
