M90 Variable speed limts & cameras.

[ianrb]

Does anyone know if the new speed cameras on the M90 (on the approach to the Forth Road Bridge) work when there is no limit displayed on the gantries?

Came down the M90 for the first time in many months, so hadn't seen the gantries, camera sign and road markings before. And I may have been a bit liberal with my interpretation of the speed limits.

If there was no limit on the signs I would assume that the cameras will be set to 70mph. If you don't get a letter within 14 days you are ok.

From your reply I assume you are an accountant.

I didn't think they were average speed, the lines on the road suggest just a traditional speed camera. And they don't work unless there is a speed displayed even 70, I've gone through them at a speed which should have set them off when I first saw them, luckily no contact from the authorities.

That's good news. With a little luck I won't be getting a 'Lucky Prize Winner' letter either.

Sorry to be thick - but that would be???

Cameras are only live when a speed limit is displayed. Although I have heard rumors that the cameras have never been activated.

Or did you mean which ring road? In which case the answer is the M25.

Ianrb did you ever receive any correspondance? I too travelled along the M90 for the first time in a couple of years. Pretty sure the variable speed limit wasn't activated at 2pm, but a little weary that I may have been caught by the camera.

No, there was no was nothing from this so I'm assuming that if there is no variable limit shown the cameras are off.
