  1. That length of the AWPR being the eastbound carriageway from its junction with the circulatory carriageway of Cleanhill Roundabout to a point 212 metres or thereby east of the centreline of the C5K Schoolhill to Lochton to Nigg Road Overbridge, a distance of 6.56 kilometres or thereby. 
  2. That length of the AWPR being the westbound carriageway from a point 212 metres or thereby east of the centreline of the C5K Schoolhill to Lochton to Nigg Road Overbridge to its junction with the circulatory carriageway of Cleanhill Roundabout, a distance of 6.56 kilometres or thereby;

and temporarily restricting the speed of vehicles to 40mph on the following lengths of road:

  1. That length of the AWPR at Charleston Junction from a point 212 metres or thereby east of the centreline of the C5K Schoolhill to Lochton to Nigg Road Overbridge, in a generally south-westerly direction for a distance of 400 metres or thereby. 
  2. That length of the A956 Trunk Road from a point 45 metres or thereby west of its intersection with the Charleston Junction northbound on slip, in a generally easterly direction for a distance of 210 metres or thereby.

The Order will be in place from 30 November 2018 to 30 June 2019 and is required because of the likelihood of danger to the public, or of serious damage to the road, which is not attributable to works. The prohibitions and restrictions contained in the Order will only have effect in relation to the lengths of road specified above when indicated by the appropriate traffic signs. The prohibitions on vehicles do not apply to vehicles being used in an emergency for fire and rescue, coastguard, ambulance or police purposes. The prohibition on pedestrians imposed also does not apply to a person while carrying out any duty in relation to the maintenance or improvement of the trunk road, while carrying out any duty in connection with the removal of any obstruction to traffic, while engaged in connection with fire brigade, ambulance, police or coastguard purposes; or leaving a vehicle which is prevented from proceeding by circumstances beyond their control. The speed restrictions do not apply to vehicles being used in the service of the Special Forces or to vehicles being used in an emergency for coastguard purposes.”
