M9 Gantries - Speed Camera?

[Mr Trophy]

Chaps,

I've just driven back from Linlithgow to Edinburgh and noticed the new M9 Gantries which have "variable speed" with a lovely big picture of a speed camera... I am hoping that a kind PH'er is going to make me aware there is no speed camera and the only one I would pass is under the bridge at newbridge which is 50?

Yours truly,

A worried PH'er

About 30 minutes ago mate?

Just realised the roughy time from your first post. Nobody obeys the speed limit till the last of the late brakers at the newbridge camera

There is a couple of speed cameras on the M90 beyond the forth road bridge but as far as I know there is no speed cameras on the M9 apart from at Newbridge.

Cameras have been installed on a couple of gantries heading from the bridge, but not yet on the section heading toward the bridge, although judging by the holes in the gantries it's only a matter of time. Interestingly though, the distance markers have only been painted on one side of the carriageway; where the cameras are currently installed.
I've no idea if these cameras are actually working yet as I've never seen them go off.

Apparantly, think I read it in another forum that they can sometimes switch the cameras on whenever they like. So just don't go too crazy.
