That’s my thoughts too. I’ve been traveling this road nearly every day for the past year and can only recall seeing 1 serious accident in this time. And I put that one down to someone not taking their time driving in heavy fog. It’s not a road I associate with a lot of crashes

just another money raising stream since scotland going to be leaving the union :laughing: :laughing:

Just looking at the crash map for the road
crashmap.co.uk/Search
shows 55 fatal or serious on that road for the past 5 years. 24 of which involved a goods vehicle (i’m guessing that means hgv) so would bringing down the speed of cars closer to that of lorries not be a good thing? - I often think speed difference is the big danger. Av speed cameras will have nearly no affect for wagons

most of the accidents will be at places where traffic has too cross the dual carriage way with the crossing vehicle mis judging the speed and gap of the traffic.
the a90 is not a dangerous road it’s the people who use it that have no patience that are dangerous and no amount of average speed cameras will fix that
