A9 average speed cameras plans to be discussed this week

Cameras will be installed every three to four miles along single carriageway parts of the A9.
Cameras will be installed every three to four miles along single carriageway parts of the A9.

Details of controversial proposals to roll out average speed cameras along the A9 will be discussed this week.

The plans cover the entire 136-mile route between Dunblane and Inverness as part of efforts to cut the number of crashes before the road is upgraded to dual carriageway by 2025.

Cameras will be installed every three to four miles along single carriageway parts of the A9 between Perth and Inverness and along the dual carriageway between Perth and Dunblane.

Work on the £2.5 million system began last month and the cameras are expected to be up and running by October.

These latest workshops will give residents of Dunblane and Auchterarder the chance to learn more about the initiative south of Perth.

Representatives from the A9 Safety Group will be on hand to answer any questions about the engineering, education and enforcement measures taking place along the route, as well as plans for the average speed cameras.

Design plans for the equipment will be on display, alongside details of safety enhancements, including improved safety barriers, lighting and vegetation clearance.

Chairman of the A9 Safety Group Stewart Leggett said: “The safety issues on the A9 are complex and a variety of solutions are being used to help cut the number of fatal and serious accidents.

“The plan to have average speed cameras has sparked a great deal of constructive debate.

“Scottish, UK and global research shows that the cameras have a positive influence on driving behaviour and that they are consistently effective in reducing accidents, particularly those resulting in death and injury.”

The events take place between 12pm and 7pm on Tuesday at Victoria Hall in Dunblane and Wednesday at Aytoun Hall in Auchterarder.
