Mobile speed cameras to be sited on A96 between Huntly and Inverurie

An additional location for mobile safety cameras has been added on the A96.

From tomorrow, cameras will at times be sited between Huntly and Inverurie.

During the past five years the Bainshole stretch of the A96 has seen 15 recorded collisions that resulted in injuries.

Eight of these were serious.

Meanwhile, recent surveys showed more than 30 per cent of drivers exceeding the speed limit along this stretch.

Eric Dunion unit manager of the North Safety Camera Unit said: "The A96 is sadly the scene of many collisions.

"Safety cameras are deployed where they have the greatest potential to reduce collisions.

"By deploying our mobile cameras at Bainshole on a regular basis we aim to encourage motorists to improve their behaviour and adhere to the speed limits."
