Hide AdEast Safety Camera Unit Manager, Andy Jones, stated: “We are pleased to be supporting local policing to reduce dangerous speeds on a road where vulnerable road users have been injured.
“The safety camera van is a fantastic resource that we can deploy to communities where road casualties and speeding is an issue.
“It is our hope that if we reduce speeds then it will make this road safer for all.”
Police Scotland Community Inspector, John Docherty, said: “Higher speeds remove a driver’s safety margin and turns near misses into crashes, this can be catastrophic when the casualty is a vulnerable road user such as a pedestrian or cyclist.
