The flexible deployment on the C16 between Balkeerie and Eassie, Angus has recommenced within the 30mph limit.

Following concerns from residents and at the request of Angus Council the North Safety Camera Unit initially carried out mobile enforcement from October - December 2025, this was followed by a speed survey which produced disappointing results.
Eric Dunion, Manager of Police Scotland’s North Safety Camera Unit, said: "The flexible deployment scheme allows us to enforce at locations of concern for an initial three months, with the aim of improving driver behaviour by encouraging motorists to slow down and drive within the speed limit in areas where there are other road users such as cyclists and pedestrians. Unfortunately, our previous flexible deployment at Balkeerie and Eassie did not have this effect, whilst mobile enforcement was in place there was a high level of speed compliance with only 14 offences detected, 11 of these vehicles registered to owners in Tayside. However, the speed survey has shown that speeds continue to be in excess of the speed limit and the 85%ile speed remains 39 mph. We therefore feel it is appropriate to attend for a further period of time and enforcement recommenced this week. We will continue to work with the local authority to look at other ways to educate motorists and remind them of the 30mph limit.”
