Safe Speed Forums

Last week (whilst coming into Dundee) I saw these HUGE montrosities of 'traffic blue' poles similar to , but as yet without the cameras. Looks like we're about to be 'big brothered' on this nice, safe stretch of road - the only viable link between the central east & west coast of scotland for the majority of the traffic.

Anybody know when they are set to go operational?

They are for forthcoming roadworks I believe. I'll try to find some more detail.

I can't believe this! - FFS. Over a 5 mile stretch.

There has NEVER been a problem before when this road was being upgraded/worked on that a few temporary signs & a bunch of cones didn't fix. Scum.

Will this make it 'safe' through the roadworks - no, we'll all be sh*t scared that we average over 40 and be staring at our speedos not just for a few seconds as at a GATSO site - but for the whole f*ing 5 miles. By the way - anybody klnow what the margin is on SPECS? Still 10+2, or is that the number of points I can expect for averaging 41 as the evil speed merchant & dangerous driver that I am?

Just stick to the limit and you'll live forever

you will all be displeased to know that there are 2 sets of roadworks within a couple of miles of each other. they both have a set of SPECS at either end although rumour has it that there is a problem with this type of scamera. apparently, they cant catch you if you change lane between them. i cannot guarantee the accuracy of this but should anyone like to test it, please let us all know

Just tailgate a truck through the first camera in each section, then ignore the limit...

Now that Scotland has its owm speed limit powers and a 'taste' for mass-rollout of SPECS3.......it will get a LOT worse, and be permanent. Very sad

From what I heard today this is all still a proposal - not sure if it one of those rubber stamping exercises though ... have to dig into it all.
