Over the weekend, there will be an increase of police presence around Prestwick Airport, the A77 Trunk Road and Turnberry.
From today (Friday) and throughout the weekend, there will be a full road closure on the A719 between Maidens and Turnberry with signed diversions in place.
There will also be the requirement to implement no waiting and parking restrictions at key times on certain roads including, Kilmarnock Road, Monkton High Street, Maybole/Turnberry Road, Maidens/Kirkoswald Road Maidens village.
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Williams, of Police Scotland, said: “The President’s visit to Scotland will require a significant policing operation, involving thousands of officers and specialist resources. As with the visit of any high-profile head of state, detailed planning is already well under way.
“Whilst the details of his programme are not yet clear, our objectives will be to ensure the safety of the President and of those travelling with him and to maintain public safety. In addition, we will work closely with any groups to facilitate lawful protest.
"As with any visit of this nature we do not disclose the specific details of the operational deployment."
