No speed cameras in Moray

Whilst introducing new speed limits in Forres it appears that many drivers choose to ignore them. This was also the issue in Wales which has seen a change back to 30mph limits where they were changed to 20.

Whilst no serious casualties occured on roads in Moray in 2025 other than an ambulance hitting a pedestrian in Elgin. It appears that generally drivers are careful and vigilant to pedestrians throughout Forres.

However, the serious offenders of speeding ' boy racers' are still driving at speeds beyond reason within the town. With Zero speed cameras in Moray there are no deterrents in place to enforce the speeding limits.

I have personally witnessed now several vehicles exceeding speed limits since the introduction of the new signs and it has no impact on those who abuse speed limits in Forres. Therefore, I would rate them as ineffective.

Reducing speeds means that drivers will travel in lower gears which use greater amounts of fuel and as a result a higher air pollution. Surely, if Moray Council are promoting how they are taking on reducing their carbon footprint then this is a negative impact. Not everyone has the luxury of an electric car and is not in a position financially to purchase one.

Therefore, I would like either that ALL signs are to be changed back to their original speed or implement operational speed cameras in all key 20 areas of Moray and in particular Forres.

I look forward to your reply in due course.
