A speeding crackdown has been launched on a major Scots road after two people died - including a 13-year-old schoolboy.
Mobile speed camera vans will be deployed on Balmore Road in the North of Glasgow after two pedestrians were tragically killed after being hit by vehicles this year.
David Gow, 79, was pronounced dead at the scene of a crash involving an off-road motorcycle on February 12.
Just eight weeks later, on May 10, schoolboy Artian Lushaku was hit by a red Toyota Aygo and raced to hospital, where he sadly passed away four days later.
The measure set up in the wake of the tragedies will see one camera set within the 30mph and the second within the national speed limit section of the road, according to Glasgow Live.
Alan Bowater, West Safety Camera Unit Manager: "Recent speed surveys identified that Balmore Road does not meet the minimum criteria for permanent sites. Over the summer months we see an increase in active travel on the road as more people are out walking and cycling.
"By placing the mobile enforcement van in both the 30mph and national speed limit we will be encouraging drivers to behave in a more responsible manner and keep the roads safe for all users."
