AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This statutory instrument imposes a temporary 20mph speed restriction on a section of the A78 trunk road in Greenock, Scotland. The order is made under powers granted by the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, which allows Scottish Ministers to temporarily restrict traffic on trunk roads for reasons such as roadworks, safety concerns, or planned events. The restriction applies to a specific stretch of the A78 in the Greenock area and is temporary in nature, meaning it will be lifted once the underlying reason — likely maintenance works or a safety hazard — has been resolved. Temporary speed restriction orders of this type typically remain in force for a maximum of 18 months under applicable legislation. Drivers travelling on the affected section of the A78 must not exceed 20mph for the duration of the order. Failure to comply constitutes a traffic offence under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
