The SCOTTISH MINISTERS give notice that they have made the above Order under sections 2(1) and (2), 4(1) and 14(1)(a) and (4) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, which will have the effect of temporarily prohibiting use on that length of the A75 Gretna - Dumfries - Stranraer Trunk Road being the eastbound exit slip road to the B7076 for Gretna, a distance of 289 metres or thereby.

No prohibition imposed by this Order applies to a vehicle being used in an emergency for fire brigade, ambulance, police or coastguard purposes, or a vehicle being used for carrying out the works.
