New flexible deployment location - B966 Inchbare, Angus.

A new flexible deployment location has been identified within the 30mph limit on the B966 at Inchbare on the Edzell to Brechin Road, Angus.

Following concerns from residents and at the request of Angus Council, Police Scotland Safety Cameras will commence enforcement on the B966 at Inchbare with a safety camera van on the 1^st June 2026 in a bid to reduce vehicle speeds and make the road safer for all road users. A recent speed survey recorded an 85%ile of 39mph and that 74% of motorists were travelling in excess of the 30mph speed limit in place.

Councillor Tommy Stewart, Angus Council said “I welcome the presence of the Safety Camera Unit, wherever issues such as this have been identified. Hopefully, this will encourage road users to drive at an appropriate speed.”

Eric Dunion, Manager of the North Safety Camera Unit, said “The flexible deployment scheme allows us to enforce at locations of concern for an initial 3-month period with the aim of improving driver behaviour by encouraging motorists to slow down and drive within the speed limit. We know that this rural road is often used by other road users such as cyclists and pedestrians. Residents have rightly raised their concerns about the level of speeding vehicles on the road, and this was confirmed with the speed survey which highlighted the level of motorists travelling in excess of the speed limit in place.
