WORK to bury speed sensors on three roads in Dalgety Bay has taken place.

The speed survey counters have been installed by Transport Scotland on Moray Way, Moray Way South and Lumsdaine Drive.

The public body says the area was agreed with Fife Council and meets four required criteria.

These are that the site should be at least one kilometre away from any safety camera enforcement; where roundabouts, junctions, hills and sharp bends do not influence a driver's speed; have no casualty profile; and have no expected speed management measures in the near future.

Moray Way South was resurfaced between the street's roundabout and Pinnel Place in August of last year.

A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: "We been working in partnership with local road authorities to identify suitable locations on their road network to install over 150 speed survey counters across Scotland. These counters will be used as part of wider research on road safety, including gathering data on the level of speed compliance on local roads."

The speed counters, which will not be used for speed enforcement, are part of wider research into evidence of a link between the greater risk of death or injury by road traffic while out walking or cycling in Scotland's poorest communities compared to those in the most affluent.

There will be more than 150 installed across the country to provide insight into driver behaviours on particular roads.
