POLICE Scotland's North Safety Camera Unit has announced a series of seasonal short term deployments.

The cameras are being introduced across the North East, Highlands and Tayside with the aim of improving driver behaviour in areas where many may be unfamiliar with the roads.

Two are set to be introduced in Moray with one on the A96 between Forres and Elgin near Alves and the other, also on the A96, near Earnside, Alves.

The enforcement will take place over Easter, the summer holiday period and October.

Eric Dunion, Unit Manager of the Police Scotland’s North Safety Camera Unit, said: “We have been working closely with our Road Policing colleagues and Local Authorities to identify locations where we anticipate an increase in traffic due to the increased number of visitors for either holidays or day trips.

"These locations would not normally meet the criteria to become a permanent location but the short term deployment scheme gives us the flexibility to be at locations where we believe there will be a change in traffic behaviour.

"We will be enforcing at the locations and aim to encourage motorists to improve their driver behaviour and adhere to the speed limits in place. Speed limits are in place for the safety of all road users.”
