Traffic management begins on M90 and A823(M) as part of the Forth Replacement Crossing project
20 September 2011
Average speed cameras and 40mph speed limit to be implemented between Halbeath and Forth Road Bridge and between Pitreavie Roundabout and the M90
From Friday 23 September the first of a number of traffic management measures will be installed on the M90/A90, A92, and A823(M) in Fife as work gets underway on the Fife ITS contract as part of the Forth Replacement Crossing (FRC).
Initially, restrictions on the carriageways will comprise the closure of the hardshoulders on the M90 motorway between Halbeath Junction and Admiralty Junction in both northbound and southbound directions. Various other traffic management measures will be in place in this area until summer 2012 to allow works to take place.
For reasons of safety, a mandatory 40mph speed limit will be applied throughout the extent of the traffic management scheme, which will be enforced by average speed cameras. These cameras will measure a vehicle’s average speed from point to point along a length of the route, using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) to identify vehicles that exceed the 40mph limit.
Steven Brown, Roads and Infrastructure Manager for Transport Scotland’s FRC Employers Delivery Team, said:
“This traffic management is an essential part of minimising the FRC project's construction impact on journey times and public safety.
“These works are necessary for the installation of the Intelligent Transport System gantries that will be a vital part of the wider FRC scheme.
“The average speed cameras in use on this part of the project will help preserve the safety of the travelling public and contractors working on the site, as well as helping to smooth the flow of traffic through the scheme.”
