The posts have been in place for a while now, but the cameras themselves only seem to have gone up in the past few days.

I remember seeing the plans for these on the news a few months ago. They are going to be used for a few months on trial with no tickets issued, but then who knows. A few people have been killed on that road, especially at the junctions - so if it helps prevent accidents I am all for it ( and I use it every day!)

A teenager and a guy in his twenties were killed on that stretch of road this time last year so I hope these cameras help to prevent accidents.

I must have missed the accidents. Ive been driving that stretch of road for 10 years (3 to and from work) and i havent seen a single accident. Its a 70 mile an hour zone anyway, i sit at 70 and i think ive been passed once in all those years.

I have seen several school children nearly getting hit by motorists further down the road at Dundonald high, people always speed there.

These Camaras Also Take Note Of Your Car Tax And Mot. I'm Almost Sure That Its 70mph And Not 60.

Time for a refresher on the rules of the road!
