Return the A77 to 70 mph
Following the £11 m upgrade and almost 12 months of disruption to remove the temporary speed limit and return the A77 between Dutch House and Bogend Toll to 70 mph.
Why is this important?
£11 m was spent to upgrade this stretch of road to make it safe to return to 70 mph. With the speed limit remaining at 50 mph it is now quicker to use country 'A' and 'B' roads - effectively turning these and villages such as Tarbolton into a rat run to reduce journey times - rather than a road that was designed for traffic to run at 70 mph.
