New speed cameras now in operation across Glasgow - here's where

We previously reported in February this year that cameras had been erected on Great Western Road, Bearsden Road, Crookston Road, and Nitshill Road.

These are now enforced and will be detecting speeding drivers. 

Outside of Glasgow, cameras have also been installed on Regent Street in Greenock and Dubbs Street, Port Glasgow.

Across the six locations, there have been 49 recorded injury collisions with up to eight in 10 vehicles speeding.

The deployment of a safety camera in each location aims to improve driver behaviour and enhance the levels of speed limit compliance.

Evidence from fixed safety cameras deployed elsewhere across Scotland shows that camera technology can help to reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured on similar roads.

The new Home Office Type Approved Vector SR cameras installed at the locations are part of a £400,000 investment through the Scottish Safety Camera Programme in new safety camera technology across the country.

Each camera site was identified following a comprehensive annual safety camera site selection process which assessed all roads across Scotland.

The delivery of all cameras at these locations was supported by Transport Scotland, Police Scotland and local partners.

Alan Bowater, Safety Camera Unit Manager for the West, said: “Driving at safe speeds has been shown to reduce the risk of road death and injury, enabling more people to make safe and healthy journeys.

"Staying within the speed limit gives drivers enough time to spot and react to hazards on the road, but if an impact was to occur it would be less likely to cause serious injury or a fatality.

"By introducing enforcement at these locations drivers will be influenced to travel at more appropriate speeds and in turn reduce the number of casualties on Scotland’s road as a result.”

Geoff Collins, Deputy Managing Director, Jenoptik UK, added: “Jenoptik has a long history of supporting casualty reduction schemes across Scotland, through the provision of SPECS average speed cameras.

"These new VECTOR SR spot speed cameras build on this experience, providing Police Scotland with the very latest in enforcement technology. We look forward to making these sites safer for residents and road users alike”.
