Yellow Cameras A90

[Wee Loon]

Driving south from Aberdeen yesterday morning, some new cameras have been installed (near Montrose junction I think) on both sides of the dual carriage way. There are two, one for each lane, suspended on an overhanging "lamp post", facing oncoming traffic. Now, the A90 has dozens of Gatsos and also the single "blue" cameras with the aerial thing sticking up, these I know about, but what are these new ones for ?. Are they speed cameras or just for monitoring traffic flow ?. Their location approaching a junction on a dual carriage way) suggests they are speed control, anyone able to explain ?

Thanks

Looks as though these are SPECS cameras, detecting average speed between camera sites. God bless the nanny state!!!!!!!!!

Yea they are SPECS some guys on the scottish elises site were talking about them the other day (and whether or not they will be removed once the roadworks are over).....

So they're temporary ?. There were no roadworks on Saturday morning, no contraflow, no cones, nothing, but the 40mph signs were up. As there were no works I just caried on at 70. If I get done I'll definitely oppose it. Do the authorities have common sense or do they apply the letter of the law no matter what ?.
