A861 – Proposed Temporary 40mph Speed Limit

Good Morning All,

I hope you are good this week.

Further to recent discussions regarding the above suggestion, please find below a summary of THC’s proposed temporary 40mph speed limit works on the A861.

Proposed speed limit reduction from 60mph to 40mph on the following sections:

1. Junction of A861/A830 to start of temporary 30mph speed limit at Achaphubuil; and
2. End of temporary 30mph speed limit at Treslaig to start of temporary 30mph speed limit at Ardgour.

The existing temporary 30mph speed limit from Achaphubuil to Treslaig is being maintained, as is the 30mph speed limit from Ardgour to Clovullin.

There is a new 20mph speed limit scheme currently being implemented through Ardgour. The existing temporary 30mph scheme will be maintained either side of the new 20mph section.

Please find attached a plan detailing this proposed extents of the new 20mph restriction, as well as an annotated map detailing the extents of the temporary 30 & 40mph speed limits.

If you require any further information or have any queries or comments regarding the information issued please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours Sincerely.

Gary Kennedy
