I’m catching up with the news – here are the figures for drivers caught on the A90 by the average speed cameras, including the stretch at Charleston.
I see very few drivers bombing along now. However the Evening Express reports than more than 500 drivers being caught on the A90 in two months.
I like the average cameras, it is a pain only being able to do 50 in a road that was previously 70 but the average cameras have certainly kept me honest, unlike the static ones.
Mr Yousaf said: “I’m confident that the encouraging improvement in speed limit compliance along the length of the A90 will help to reduce casualties in the same way as has been achieved with similar average speed cameras on the A77 and A9.
Show me the statistics for 3 years before and after and include a weighting of the number of vehicles using the same stretch over each period to prove the statement of reduction in casualties.
If it can really be shown that speed camera’s decrease casualties then one could argue the speed limit could be increased by say 10% for those vehicles with lower fuel consumption.
