Temporary average speed cameras introduced along an eight-mile-long stretch up the western shoreline of Loch Lomond to cut speeds and reduce the number of accidents have finally been removed.The average speed cameras were deployed on a temporary basis following an increase of speeds and injury collisions on the A82, between Luss and Tarbet.The site was previously enforced by Police Scotland Safety Cameras at several locations across the route using the mobile enforcement van.

The average speed cameras, which replaced the mobile enforcement temporarily, have been shown to be more effective at enforcing speed limits over a greater distance, and discouraging dangerous driver behaviours.The speed limit was enforced there from September to November.

The cameras commenced enforcement from Monday, September 23.Speeds and injury collisions on the road were monitored throughout this deployment by Police Scotland Safety Cameras.However, during the enforcement period 131 offences were recorded, with vehicles detected travelling as fast as 108mph on the route.
