THE A77 TRUNK ROAD (DOONHOLM) (TEMPORARY 40MPH SPEED RESTRICTION) ORDER 2025
NOTICE OF DIRECTION UNDER SECTION 15(3) OF THE ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATION ACT 1984
THE SCOTTISH MINISTERS have directed that, as they propose to make provision to reproduce the effect of The A77 Trunk Road (Doonholm) (Temporary 40mph Speed Restriction) Order 2025 (S.S.I. 2025/111) but that in consequence of the procedure required to be followed in connection with making that provision it cannot come into operation until the temporary order ceases to be in force, the temporary order shall continue in force.
The Order has the effect of temporarily imposing a 40mph speed restriction on that length of the A77 Glasgow – Stranraer Trunk Road at Doonholm from a point 250 metres or thereby north of the centre line of Doonholm Road, in a southerly direction to a point 225 metres or thereby south of the centre line of Doonholm Road, a distance of 475 metres or thereby.
The Order, which was required in the interest of road safety, was in operation from 18th April 2025. It would have expired on 18th October 2026 and will now continue in force until 18th April 2027 unless a further direction under section 15(3) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 is given, or the Order is revoked or amended.
The Order does not apply to vehicles falling within regulation 3(4) of the Road Traffic Exemptions (Special Forces) (Variation and Amendment) Regulations 2011 when used in accordance with regulation 3(5) of these Regulations; or vehicles being used in an emergency for coastguard purposes.
