New figures obtained by Forth News show speeding on the A90 near Barnton has nearly trebled in the last year.

Police focused on the stretch of road between the Burnshot flyover and Cammo Road.

Between January and March 2018, the number of drivers caught over the limit was 222. But for the same period in 2019, the number jumps to 636.

East Safety Camera Unit Manager Andy Jones said “it is disappointing that the presence of the mobile camera van is not acting as enough of a deterrent.

"The cameras are deployed to this site due to a history of collisions and casualties.

"We are consulting with Edinburgh Council to look at the possibility of introducing further measures to reduce speeding on this route””
