CSSCP Launch Tourist Postcards
An information postcard which features scenes of Clackmannanshire, Falkirk and Stirling are available throughout the Central Scotland area and are free to members of the public . The back of the postcard, shows a speed limit table, road safety do’s and don’ts and a reminder that CSSCP will be out enforcing the speed limit on roads with a history of collisions.
Kathleen Grant, CSSCP Communications Officer said, “The postcards are designed to ensure that visitors to Central Scotland area are fully informed of the speed limits and provided with advice on road safety. Tourists can often be unfamiliar with the nature of roads in the area and foreign drivers can be unsure of road signs and different speed limits. Of course, we want everyone who visits the Central Scotland area to have a wonderful time, and we also want their trip to be safe.”
Chief Inspector Donald McMillan, head of the Road Policing Unit in Central Scotland Police said, “The Central Scotland area benefits substantially from tourism and summer travel naturally results in higher numbers of motorists who may be unfamiliar with our roads and traffic legislation. Central Scotland Police are keen to support the Partnership’s campaign and we will continue in our efforts to ensure that road safety messages get through to all motorists using our roads.”
VisitScotland Area Director, Argyll, Forth Valley and Loch Lomond, Iain Close, said: “We aim to make Scotland a must visit must return destination and this means that safety is a top priority. We are delighted to support such a helpful initiative.”
