#2026/153The A76 Trunk Road (Kirkconnel) (Temporary Prohibition on Waiting, Loading and Unloading) Order 2026

This statutory instrument imposes a temporary prohibition on waiting, loading, and unloading on a section of the A76 trunk road at Kirkconnel, Scotland. The restriction has been enacted to facilitate roadworks or maintenance operations on this stretch of the national road network managed by Transport Scotland. The order prohibits vehicles from waiting, loading, or unloading along the affected section of the A76, which is a key route connecting Kilmarnock and Dumfries in southwestern Scotland. The temporary nature of the restriction means it is time-limited and will be lifted once the works are complete. The order was made under powers granted by the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, which allows Scottish Ministers to temporarily restrict or prohibit traffic on trunk roads for safety or maintenance purposes. Exemptions typically apply for emergency services and vehicles directly engaged in the roadworks themselves.
