Council Puts Brake On Drivers

Motorists in Ross and Cromarty are being warned that part time 20mph speed restrictions have been introduced at another school in the area, for children’s safety.

The new speed limits are now in force at Tarradale Primary School. This addition brings the total number of schools benefiting from part time speed limits in Ross and Cromarty to 8 and in Highland to 37 at present.

These part time speed limits at Tarradale Primary come following a recent warning to drivers in the Highlands that if they speed in the vicinity of Highland schools then the penalties will be tough.

In August this year, Highland Council, Northern Constabulary and the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (Highlands and Islands Area) issued a joint warning to motorists that if they are caught speeding near Highland schools where a part time 20mph limit is in place, then robust enforcement action will be taken by both the Police and the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service.

Drivers travelling near Tarradale Primary should be aware that the 20mph part time speed limit applies on school days, Mondays to Fridays from 0840 to 0900; 1215 to 1330, 1445 to 1500; and 1515 to 1530.

The other schools in Ross and Cromarty Area with part time 20mph speed restrictions include Conon, Hilton of Cadboll, Maryburgh, Mulbuie, and Newmore Primaries and Invergordon Academy.
