Temporary speed cameras to monitor driver behaviour on busy Falkirk road

A temporary speed camera van will monitor driver behaviour over the coming weeks after concerns from residents living on a busy Falkirk road about speeding.

From Monday July, 12, there'll be a 'flexible deployment' on B816 in Allandale.

It's all part of Safety Cameras Scotland's summer staycation campaign to influence driver behaviour and encourage everyone to "stay within the speed limits this staycation".

East Safety Camera Unit Manager, Michael Grant, said: "Flexible deployments allow us to work in partnership with Police Scotland and local authorities to address concerns in areas that have a high footfall, where speed surveys have shown there is an issue with speed limit compliance.

"The deployment should remind drivers that is vital to observe the 30mph speed limit, which will ensure all road users can travel safely".

Sergeant Alyn Blyth, Forth Valley Division, added: "Concerns had been expressed by the local community about the speed of vehicles travelling on B816, Allandale, which passes a football ground and has a footway on both sides.

"I am pleased that we can work with the East Safety Camera Unit to improve public safety and create a more pleasant environment for everyone who uses this route."
