The highest earning speed cameras in Tayside and Fife issued more than 5,600 tickets to unsuspecting motorists – despite two lockdowns.
Data obtained by The Courier shows that 5,644 tickets were issued in the last financial year.
Police Scotland also provided the most profitable locations for mobile speed cameras, showing the areas where speed motorists are most likely to be caught out.
The force did not provide details for fixed speed cameras, as FOI rules mean they can withhold their locations for “crime prevention”.
However, information on locations where mobile speed vans regularly visit was provided.
In Fife, mobile speed cameras accounted for all 10 of the top-earning locations, with a total of 2,252 tickets issued during the year leading up to April 2021.
Drivers on the A92 Lochgelly to Cowdenbeath road westbound near Westerton Farm, where the limit is 70mph for cars, were the most likely to get caught out.
A total of 714 tickets were issued by mobile cameras there, the most of any location in Fife.
The A92 accounted for the top six highest-earning locations in Fife, including at the Balfarg junction in Glenrothes, where 677 tickets were issued to drivers speeding above the 50mph limit.
Away from the A92, another ticket hotspot in Fife is the A914 in Cupar, where a 30mph speed limit is in force. 45 tickets were issued at this location.
Fifty tickets were issued on the B981 Crossgates to Inverkeithing road, south of the B916 junction.
In Tayside, most of the 5,644 tickets issued during lockdown were via fixed cameras, meaning their locations are withheld.
However, the second highest-earning location in Dundee is the A90 at Kingsway West Charlotte Street, where 659 tickets were issued to motorists driving faster than 40mph.
In Perthshire, drivers on the A90 at Middlebank had 270 tickets issued. Meanwhile, 192 tickets were issued at St Madoes.
A90 camera offences slump but drivers still hitting 130mph in speeding league of shame
