Just a heads up that there is a 'funny' with the signage on this road, which runs past Barrhead Fire Station to the A726 Hurlet Road.

From the Paisley side, the former 40mph limit ,which changed to a National Speed limit just south of Dykebar Hospital has been replaced by a 30mph changing to 40mph, with 40 repeaters on both sides of the road.

From the Barrhead side, there is still a National Speed limit sign northbound, which might lead to speeding in the 40 limit!

I have reported this anomaly to the Council, hopefully it will be sorted soon.

I suspect this a break down in communication between Renfrewshire council on the Paisley side and East Renfrewshire on the Barrhead side. I reckon the 40 sign is on the boundary. A 40 limit on that stretch of road is pathetic.
The NSL sign remaining is on the 'Welcome to Renfrewshire' sign, who is the LA who have introduced the changed speed limit, so I think kit is a Renfrewshire Council balls up.

I'm not an expert, but by eye the distance from the start of the 40 to the repeater sign seems much more than 200m, which would also mean more repeaters are required?

Also, what feckwit decided to put up traffic lights into Barrhead?, with the other ones at the new Roundabout, someone is on a mission to bring the town to a grinding halt!

It's 12 o'clock and I'm still angry; seething in fact. I live next to the Dalmeny Park Hotel. From there to the workshop in Hillington is a 7 or 8 minute drive.

I left the house at 8.10 this morning: arrived at the workshop at 8.57. Utterly, utterly outrageous!!

Look at this :-

This is the register of roadworks for Scotland. This is supposed to demonstrate the "coordination" of works to minimise disruption. Just look at how the major works have been set up on every route from Barrhead to Paisley all at the same time. What kind of cretins manage this debacle? These are public servants paid handsomely by us to create this kind of absolute chaos on the roads.

We need this to stop. It has being going on for years and has progressively worsened because nobody kicks up hell.

Complain now!

Who would the best people to report this to?
It is typical of the attitude towards the motorist, absolutely no thought about how much disruption and pollution these idiots cause through un-coordinated road works.
Add in the A'hole how takes a dumper truck along Parkhouse Road in the rush hour at 15mph, and never pulls in to allow traffic to pass, and it's war out there!

James, I have edited your post to remove the 'help from a friend' bit, and sent it to the Barrhead News, and the Daily Record, who own the Paisley Daily Express, I have copied you in on the e-mails.

We are being run by incompetent idiots, and jobsworths with hairdryers.......
