    ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL MID ARGYLL, KINTYRE AND THE ISLANDS AREA COMMITTEE DEVELOPMENT & INFRASTRUCTURE September 2018 SERVICES Islay & Jura Road Traffic Speeds – Briefing Note 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Speed Limits on the Local Road Network are governed by legislation and guidance which are summarised in the proposed policy document. The legislation and guidance have been established to regularise speed limits across the country to provide consistency of approach. 1.2 The speed of vehicles can be an emotive issue for communities that often generates intense local concern and debate. This can be due to the perception of what is an appropriate safe speed which can often differ greatly between, for example; drivers, pedestrians and pedal cyclists, many of whom live and work in the community. 1.3 A request has been received through Members for the consideration of alterations to speed limits at four locations, these being Ballygrant, Bruichladdich, Keills on Islay and Craighouse, Jura. Police Scotland have also indicated that there may be issues with drivers driving inappropriately from time to time. 1.4 Traffic Data Units (TDU) have been used to collect data at the above locations. The data for each site confirms that no further action is required by the Council. 1.5 We have shared this information with Police Scotland who have indicated that, on the basis of the recorded data, they have no concerns at these locations and do not intend any further action at this time. Notwithstanding this, normal sample enforcement will continue on the islands as Police Scotland consider appropriate. 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 This report provides requested speed data for three locations on Islay and one on Jura.
