Two routes that have previously been given the title of ‘most dangerous’ roads have received Prince Michael International Road Safety Awards for their significant casualty reductions.  

The average speed installation on the A537 Cat and Fiddle road operates in ‘rear facing’ mode, allowing motorcycles to be monitored by cameras viewing their rear number plates.  The latest figures for the A537 show a 77 per cent reduction in Killed or Seriously Injured (KSI) casualties.

The A9 enforcement system has cameras covering 220km of road, involving a mixture of single and dual carriageway sections, running through the centre of Scotland, ad currently shows a 62 per cent reduction in KSI.

79 Jenoptik Traffic Solutions UK supplied SPECS cameras to both the A9 Safety Group and the A537 Cat and Fiddle.
