The order will expire on 8th August 2019 if no further direction is given and the order is neither revoked nor amended.

Direction under Section 15(3) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984

The Scottish Ministers direct that, as they propose to make provision to reproduce the effect of the A83 Trunk Road (Furnace to Cumlodden) Temporary 40mph Speed Restriction) Order 2017 (SSI 2017/258) (“the temporary order”) 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 until 8 August 2019.
