Six more villages are set to get 20mph zones in South Ayrshire to clamp down on speeding. 

Minishant, Barrhill, Maidens, Dailly, Colmonell and Pinwherry will have the restrictions on many roads.

Ayrshire Roads Alliance teams have been told to start erecting new signs to slow drivers down. 

See below for the exact roads getting new traffic rules, which also include 30mph sections. 

South Ayrshire council leader Peter Henderson said: “This is what people have asked for. It will make the villages safer, nicer places to live and better for walkers and cyclists.”

The SNP councillor said it is hoped signs with the new speed restrictions would be up by June.

He said: “I put in a motion for this three and a half years ago. I am delighted it is going ahead.”

More than a dozen streets in Dailly will see 20mph limits – spanning across the whole village.

The council’s Leadership Panel received an update on the progress of the speed limit plans at its meeting this week (25 May).

The South Ayrshire Council Regulatory Panel had approved the Traffic Regulation Orders previously but the scheme has faced delays.

The 20mph limits have also been approved for roads in Straiton, Crosshill, Dundonald and Kirkmichael.
