No prohibition in the Order applies to vehicles being used in an emergency for fire brigade, ambulance, police or coastguard purposes or vehicles being used for carrying out the works. No speed restriction imposed by the Order applies to vehicles being used in the service of the Special Forces or vehicles being used in an emergency for coastguard purposes.
Where the closure of a carriageway on a dual carriageway road is involved the alternative route for traffic in relation to the lengths of road affected by the Order will be signposted. Detailed descriptions of the alternative routes and the works being carried out can also be obtained at the following offices:
Scottish Roads Partnership, IE, Willow House, Kestrel View, Strathclyde Business Park, Bellshill, ML4 3PB, Telephone 0800 042 0188
