	A77 road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The A77 road is a major road in Scotland.
		The A77 is a crucial link from Glasgow to one of its two major airports, Prestwick Airport, and to the three main ferry terminals at Stranraer, Cairnryan, and Troon for sailings to Northern Ireland.
		Construction of the motorway was unusually swift, given the eagerness to replace the A77 after another fatal crash in 2003 claiming a top-ranking police officer, and the motorway was opened in April 2005.

		At its northern end, it is a motorway-standard road (the M77) between Fenwick and Central Glasgow.
		The most notorious section, an unsegregated 4-lane single carriageway between Kilmarnock and Newton Mearns was one of the most dangerous and accident-prone sections of road in Scotland, owing to the fact that cars could pass each other at over 80mph, despite numerous warnings to drivers that the road only has a speed capacity of 60mph.
		This stretch was finally closed completely in April 2005, when the M77 extension to Fenwick was opened to traffic, meaning that a continuous dual carriageway road now exists from Glasgow to Ayr.

		Sarah Boyack, who confirmed proposals for urban congestion and workplace parking charges, told the Scottish Parliament that the five roads would be of "tremendous benefit" to road users in Scotland.
		However, she stressed that safety had been the prime mover in the Strategic Roads Review, particularly in relation to the notorious A77 - dubbed a "killer road".
		Ms Boyack said four of the schemes would be funded by the government but the M77 development was subject to the public-private partnership, a form of the controversial private finance initiative.

	Walk #455: Cairnryan to Lendalfoot
		This used to be the old main road, and was closed when the diversion, which takes a more inland route, diverts off.
		The old road is quite eerie, as the white lines along the road were still visible but grass was starting to encroach from the verges.
		This section of road is fenced off with two gates that had barbed wire over them, but they were relatively easy to climb over.

	Walk #456: Lendalfoot to Electric Brae
		The next stretch of the A77(T) road heading north was so close to the sea that I chose to walk along this instead of along the low cliffs, as it allowed fast progress.
		The road was not too busy, and for most of the way the verge was wide enough to make the walk relatively safe.
		After about a kilometre the A719 road is reached; turn left and walk on for a few hundred yard until a lay-by is reached at Electric Brae, where this walk ends.

	math lessons - M77 motorway
		For the first 25 years of its life, the M77 was merely a short 1.5 mile (2.4 km) long spur which took traffic from the motorway in the Kinning Park area of Glasgow, joining onto the A77 in the Pollokshaws area.
		However, a large number of accidents and pollution problems caused in the Giffnock and Newton Mearns districts by commuter traffic and heavy lorries (the A77 is also the main route for ferry-bound traffic sailing to Northern Ireland), saw an extension being built to the motorway in 1994 to bypass these areas.
		This is intended to replace the dangerous 4 lane unsegregated single carriageway of the A77 which is prone to fatal accidents.
