While the cameras remain installed, they are covered with a "Not in Use" sign. Safety Cameras Scotland, the operator of these devices, stated that they can remain dormant for up to three years, after which a decision will be made about whether to reactivate or abandon them.
The inactive cameras are spread across various locations: three in Ayrshire, one in East Renfrewshire, two in Renfrewshire, one in East Dunbartonshire[4], four in North Lanarkshire[5], one in South Lanarkshire[6], and a staggering 37 in Glasgow.
