ANGRY MOTORISTS have claimed they did not receive enough warning about speed cameras at roadworks on the A90 Dundee to Perth road.

Average speed cameras are being installed at Kinfauns and Glendoick, and the speed limit has been reduced to 40 mph at both zones.

The SPECS camera system has been installed by Transport Scotland to ensure motorists keep to a consistently-safe speed at the five-mile stretch of works, which are scheduled to last for a year as new flyovers are created.

Whilst SPECS cameras are being installed, the reduced speed limit is being enforced by mobile safety cameras and police.

One motorist complained he did not know speed cameras would be in operation.

“I did not know anything about it,” he said. “There seems to have been no warnings about these cameras.”

A spokesperson for the Tayside Safety Camera Partnership said, “Preparatory construction work has commenced on the A90, at Glendoick and Kinfauns, and will gradually increase.

“The reduced speed limit was considered necessary by the contractor and Transport Scotland to ensure the safety of construction workers.

“The average speed cameras and signs are being installed on the A90 at Glendoick and Kinfauns. In the meantime, the reduced speed limit may be enforced by Tayside Police or TSCP mobile camera units.”

Average speed cameras, which calculate how fast motorists are travelling between two fixed points, are being utilised for only the second time on Scotland’s roads.
