New 20mph speed limit introduced in East Dunbartonshire
The change, which comes into effect on September 8, is part of a wider move by East Dunbartonshire Council to reduce traffic speeds and improve road safety. It follows public consultation earlier this year, during which residents were invited to share their views on the proposal. The new speed limit will apply to the entire length or part of the length of more than 300 roads across the town. This includes all residential streets as well as main roads such as the A739 Switchback Road/Bearsden Road (northbound and southbound), the A809 Drymen Road, and the A81 Milngavie Road. A full list of affected roads can be found on the East Dunbartonshire Council website. Any person wishing to question the validity of the 20mph speed limit order or any provision within it because it is not within the powers conferred by the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984, or that any requirement of that Act or any relevant regulation has not been complied with, may make an application to the Court of Session within six weeks of July 24. In a separate development, a temporary road closure will be in place on Station Road, Bearsden, from August 4 to September 22. The closure is required to allow for works to be carried out on or near the road. It will affect the section of Station Road between its junction with the A809 Drymen Road and its junction with the access to the private car park for the Co-operative Food Shop. During this period, no vehicles will be permitted to use this section of the road, except for those engaged in the works. Alternative routes will be signposted and will include the A809 Drymen Road, Roman Road, the A81 Milngavie Road, MacFarlane Road, Canniesburn Toll Roundabout, Canniesburn Road, Pendicle Road, and Station Road. Temporary traffic signals, incorporating a pedestrian crossing facility, will also be in operation on the A809 Drymen Road between its junction with Station Road and its junction with Ledcameroch Road. These will be in place from August 4 to September 22 and will be manually controlled between 7am and 7pm each day. The council has warned that the use of temporary traffic signals may result in delays to traffic in the area. More details of the road closure and alternative routes can be found on the public notice portal here:
