Temporary average speed cameras to operate on A82 following increase in collisions
Police Scotland[1] are set to begin the enforcement of temporary average speed cameras on the A82[2].
In an effort to improve road safety Police Scotland Safety Cameras will commence enforcement from Monday, September 23.
The average speed cameras will be deployed on a temporary basis following an increase of ‘speeds and injury collisions’ on the A82 between Luss and Tarbet.

It has been reported that the new technology employed in these cameras make use of renewable energy using a combination of solar and bio-methanol sources.
They will be powered by off-grid sources which enables the technology to be deployed at locations previously inaccessible for fixed infrastructure.
The same technology was also implemented at the beginning of the month on the A836 between Reay and Thurso.
Speeds and injury collisions on the road will continue to be monitored during this period.
