RESIDENTS of a Cairnbaan housing estate are reminding drivers to stick to the 40mph speed limit amid fears a child could be injured as a result of speeding motorists.
Youngsters at Creag Ghlas have to be supervised at all times when out playing because cars are just not obeying the new speed limit.
Louise Sutherland who has a 9-year-old daughter said it is virtually impossible to cross the road to get across to the opposite side of the canal.
‘My daughter Morgan is 9-years-old so its just not cool to have your mum accompany you across the road but I have to because the cars are just not slowing down.
‘We’re overjoyed that the council agreed to put the limit in but we’re just frustrated because a lot of drivers are just not sticking to it.’
Another Creag Ghlas parent added: ‘Its impossible to get the pram along the road if we want to go for a walk – you take your life in your hands.’
The 40mph limit was put into force two months ago.
Sergeant David Ferguson of Strathclyde Police’s road policing department said the area will be rigorously monitored just like anywhere else in Argyll and Bute.
‘We will actively be policing this area with a view to reporting any offenders,’ he added.
