A75 speed cameras now on

TEMPORARY average speed cameras are now in place on the A75 between Newton Stewart and Creetown. The cameras are part of ongoing efforts to improve road safety along the stretch of the trunk road, and to help reduce the risk of collisions in an area that experiences a mix of local traffic, commuting journeys and heavy goods vehicles. This is this latest deployment of cameras by Police Scotland Safety Cameras which have several locations along the A75 where they regularly enforce using mobile technology. By identifying sections of this road which would benefit from the introduction of the temporary average speed cameras it allows mobile resources to be allocated elsewhere within Dumfries and Galloway. They calculate a vehicles average speed over a measured distance, rather than at a single point, encouraging consistent compliance with the posted speed limit.
