Central Scotland Safety Camera Partnership today launched a postcard, containing road safety information and advice on speed limits.

The postcards are freely available from tourist locations across the area and from Visitor Information Centers. On the back of the postcard, visitors are provided with a speed limit table and road safety do’s and don’ts.

Central Scotland Safety Camera Partnership manager, Neil MacSporran said, "The postcards are designed to ensure that visitors to the 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 want their trip to be safe."

Central Scotland Police, head of Road Policing, Chief Inspector McMillan 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 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."
