The A75 is a Primary Trunk Road in Scotland, linking Stranraer and its ferry ports at Cairnryan with the A74(M) at Gretna, close to the Border with England and the M6 Motorway. ==Route== Heading west along the south coast of Scotland from its junction with the A74(M) motorway at Gretna it continues past Eastriggs, Annan, Dumfries, Castle Douglas, Gatehouse of Fleet, Newton Stewart, Kirkcowan and Glenluce before ending at Stranraer. The majority of the road is of single-carriageway standard, although a few short dual carriageway sections exist, including a one mile section past Gretna, a section past Collin (just east of Dumfries,) a two mile section just west of Dumfries and a 1 mile section at Barlae (Between Glenluce and Newton Stewart.) There are also numerous 3 lane, Overtaking sections which allow overtaking in one direction or on some occasion both directions. The road is currently being re-routed at Carrutherstown (near Dumfries) and a bypass is currently being constructed to avoid the village of Dunragit and the frequently struck Challoch Railway Bridge, which has earned the title of "most hit bridge in the UK ". There are only two service stations on the A75: one at Collin on the eastern edge of Dumfries, and one at Castle Kennedy to the east of Stranraer. The road forms part of the international E-road, European route E18. The majority of Heavy Goods Vehicles which cross the short sea route of the North Channel via Cairnryan utilise the A75, with a much as 90% of HGV Traffic using the A75.〔http://www.south-ayrshire.gov.uk/roads/publications/a77%20maybole%20100305.pdf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「A75 road」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
