The East Renfrewshire Council
(A726 GLASGOW SOUTHERN ORBITAL. MAIDENHILL, NEWTON MEARNS) (40MPH & 50MPH SPEED LIMIT) ORDER 20[**]
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT The East Renfrewshire Council propose to make an Order under Section 84 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 in the interest of Road Safety as a consequence of the construction of a new junction near the junction of M77/A726 (Junction 5, Maidenhill), Newton Mearns, which will introduce a 50mph speed limit on on the eastbound and westbound carriageways of the A726 GSO extending to a point approximately 805 metres generally northeast from Junction 5, Maidenhill.
Additionally, to correct authorisation issues with the existing signed 40mph of the eastbound and westbound carriageways of the A726 GSO and on the gyratory roundabout junction of M77/ A726 (Junction 5, Maidenhill), the opportunity is also taken to promote a 40mph speed limit order over relevant lengths of the aforementioned roads, an overall distance of 600 metres or thereby.
The order will make it an offence for any person to drive a motor vehicle at a speed exceeding the proposed limits on the affected sections of road.
A copy of a statement of reason for making the Order, location plan and the draft Order, which forms "The East Renfrewshire Council (A726 Glasgow Southern Orbital, Maidenhill, Newton Mearns) (40mph & 50mph Speed Limits) Order 20[**]" can be viewed online in the East Renfrewshire Councils Traffic Notices section on the 'Tell Me Scotland' website, at the following address:
