Average speed cameras on the A90 between Dundee and Aberdeen will be switched on by the end of October.

The £2m project will have cameras at 30 locations along the 51 mile stretch aim to cut speeding and reduce accidents.

The Scottish Government says in the past five years there have been 60 fatal or serious crashes on the route.

Their figures show one in every five vehicles exceeds the 70mph speed limit by at least 10mph.

Transport minister Humza Yousaf said: "We know that the A90 trunk road has the highest collision rates in Scotland.

"More than three in every five vehicles travelling between Dundee and Stonehaven are speeding. This system will help reduce that rate and save lives."

He added: "The positive impact average speed camera systems have in improving road safety has been evidenced from other areas in Scotland.

"We remain committed through Scotland's Road Safety Framework to 2020 to making our roads safer, and we are working towards an ultimate vision of zero fatalities and reduced number of serious injuries on our roads."
