The A87 Trunk Road (Kyle of Lochalsh) (Temporary 20mph Speed Restriction) Order 2023 - 2nd Extension
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 A87 Trunk Road (Kyle of Lochalsh and Uig Ferry Terminal) (Temporary 20mph Speed Restriction) Order 2023 (S.S.I.259) 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 20mph speed restriction on the following length of road:
- That length of the A87 Invergarry – Kyle of Lochalsh – Borve – Uig Trunk Road at Kyle of Lochalsh from a point 273 metres east of its junction with Langlands Terrace to a point 239 metres west of its junction with the U5012 Kyle Prospect Road, a distance of 852 metres or thereby.
- That length of the A87 Invergarry – Kyle of Lochalsh – Borve – Uig Trunk Road at Uig from a point 115 metres north of the northeast corner of the Ferry Terminal Building to the end of the trunk road at Uig Pier, a distance of 225 metres or thereby.
The order, which was required for the interest of road safety was in operation from 25th September 2023 and would have expired on 25th March 2025. On 20th March 2025, the Scottish Ministers issued a direction under section 15(3) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 continuing the order in force until 25th September 2025. On 19th September 2025, the Scottish Ministers issued a further direction under section 15(3) continuing the order in force until 25th March 2026, 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 those Regulations; or vehicles being used in an emergency for coastguard purposes.
