Drivers urged to slow down near Highland school

Motorists are being warned that existing 30mph speed restrictions signs have been extended to accommodate new, part time 20mph speed restrictions which have been introduced at Achiltibuie Primary School for children’s safety.

The part time 20mph speed limits will operate on school days when pupils are arriving or departing from the school from 9:00am to 9:20am and from 3:30pm to 3:45pm.
 
Motorists are reminded that if they speed in the vicinity of Highland schools then the penalties will be tough. The Highland Council, Northern Constabulary and the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (Highlands and Islands Area) are clear that if motorists are caught speeding near Highland schools, then robust enforcement action will be taken by both the Police and the Procurator Fiscal Service.
