Temporary 10mph speed limit to be introduced on road next month
A temporary speed limit of 10mph is being introduced on Glasgow Road.
South Lanarkshire Council has announced the speed restriction for Nerston Village, East Kilbride, due to repairs being carried out by Scottish Water.
The new limit will be in effect from July 15 to 19, affecting the section of Glasgow Road between Crookedshields Road and East Nerston Grove.
Traffic signs, as prescribed by the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016, will be used to indicate the new speed limit.
The council has utilised powers given by the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, and the Road Traffic (Temporary Restrictions) Act 1991, to enforce the temporary measure.

Council removes bizarre roundabout after backlash from drivers in 'disgraceful saga'
An unconventional and much talked about road feature has disappeared overnight just days after it made headlines around the country for its very peculiar, and seemingly ineffective, design. A diamond-shaped roundabout was recently rolled out in Sydney's southwest – much to the total bemusement of drivers in the Liverpool Council area. Fifteenth Avenue, set to become a key arterial route to the new Western Sydney Airport, has recently seen a flurry of roadworks, with three new roundabouts installed in quick succession. Roundabouts have been added at 22nd Avenue, Craik Avenue, and the now-infamous – and short lived – diamond-shaped roundabout at 28th Avenue. Footage captured by Yahoo on Friday at the unusual roundabout showed a number of drivers ignoring the painted lines and driving straight through the road feature. However on Friday night, council workers quietly removed it all together. "There is no roundabout, it's gone," a council spokesperson told Yahoo News on Saturday. "We listened to our residents. It was a design that didn't work. "There were lots of complaints about it, so the simplest thing to do was to get rid of it." Photos from the scene on Saturday show black paint over the previous diamond shape and a previous sign has been removed, and replaced with a regular Giveway sign. "There was actually a mound in the middle of the intersection, so it was pulled up and the intersection has been repainted with slightly different line markings to the previous one. "It's going back to the intersection that it was, and we've also put some improved line markings to make it a bit simpler and easier," the spokesperson said. Local MP Nathan Hagarty was also on the scene on Saturday to mark the occasion. "Cars are still stopping, they're not sure what to do," he said in a video posted to constituents on social media. "But as far as I'm concerned, this is not the end of this disgraceful saga. I have had a look at the original designs and what I can say is that the design that I saw do not match what was delivered, so I think some serious questions need to be asked to Liverpool Council and the contractors... how much money has been wasted?" he said. Related: Major road rule changes coming into effect on July 1 across Australia For it's part, the Liverpool Council says the state government needs to upgrade the road to make it fit for purpose to handle the amount of traffic it receives. "It's always been an awkward intersection … we've been waiting years for that road to be upgraded – it's a major thoroughfare. It's going to be the major link into the Western Sydney International Airport and it's not going to be ready in time," the council spokesperson told Yahoo. "It hasn't been done properly and there's more pain to come unfortunately until that road is upgraded." Do you have a story tip?

Speed camera signs appear on busy bypass with no speed cameras in place
Speed camera signs have been placed on a stretch of the Formby Bypass where the speed limit has temporarily been halved, although there are no plans to have temporary speed cameras installed. Sefton Council condemned drivers who continue to ignore the speed limit that has been introduced until the end of August, but also confirmed they will not be installing cameras for the duration of the works. The speed limit has been reduced while workers begin to start building houses on a plot of land next to the busy stretch of road, with the closure of the footway and cycle lanes resulting in people having to cross the carriageway. This has led to the speed limit being halved and drivers being warned they will be passing a speed camera, although the council has said it the limit is being monitored using mobile speed camera provision rather than a stationary camera. Speed camera signs with a white background are often used in places where mobile speed cameras are used or where there have been accidents.

The signs have appeared in both directions between Formby and Ainsdale, with motorists urged to adhere to the temporary speed limit. A spokesperson for Sefton Council said: 'It is disappointing to see motorists claiming they will ignore speed limits which have been put in place to keep people safe on the Formby Bypass. 'Works are underway on the northbound carriageway which has led to the temporary closure of the footway and cycle lane. This means pedestrians and cyclists need to cross both carriageways to use the southbound footway. 'As a result a temporary 30mph limit has been put in place to both to the north and southbound carriageway to keep pedestrians and cyclists safe while crossing. "This limit is being monitored by mobile speed camera provision and we urge motorists to keep to these temporary limits in order to keep others safe.'
