Raasay - Temporary 40mph Speed limit - Road safety team consultations

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL (RAASAY) (TEMPORARY 40MPH SPEED LIMIT) ORDER 2026 has been made under Section 14(1)(b) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 as amended. The Order, which has a maximum duration of 18 months, will come into force at 0600hrs on 25 September 2026. While the Order is in force, the restrictions will apply 24 hours a day. The Order is required to reduce the likelihood of danger to the public whilst trialling a ‘share space’ Active Travel Quiet Route upon the road. The Council will keep the situation under review and will only revoke the Order before 18 months have elapsed if it considers that the restrictions are no longer necessary. If the Council decides to revoke the Order, this will be publicised prior to the restrictions being lifted. When this temporary Order comes into force, it will introduce a 40mph speed limit on the following lengths of road in Raasay; U4742 – PIER ROAD from its junction with the Suisnish Point – Inverarish – Brochel Road (C1235) extending in a south-westerly and then westerly direction for a total distance of 365m or thereby & C1235 – SUISNISH POINT – INVERARISH – BROCHEL ROAD from a point 82 metres or thereby north-west of the most north-west wall of the Raasay Walled Garden extending in a south-easterly direction, through Clachan, to a point 99 metres or thereby north-west of the extended line of the south-east boundary of the car park at the Free Presbyterian Church where the existing 30MPH speed limit commences, a total distance of 833m or thereby. A copy of the temporary order can be viewed at the Portree and Raasay Service Point and Registration Office, Tigh-na-Sgire, Park Lane, Portree, IV519GP or on the Highland Council website at www.highland.gov.uk/roadsafetyconsultations.
