Obstructions on Roads
It is an offence under Section 59 of the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984 to place or deposit anything in a road so as to cause an obstruction. However, if the obstruction is not removed by the offending person on being required to do so by the Roads Authority or the Police then the Roads Authority or the Police can remove the obstruction and recover such expenses as are reasonably incurred in so doing from the said person.
