One last night in rush hour - Slow moving traffic, I bet speed gets blamed. the road Northbound got closed from Halbeath.

One at 2am this morning, apparently (according to the radio) someone jumped off a flyover, thus commiting suicide - Again no speeding involved. This closed the road till about 8.15 this morning, and left tail backs of well up to 5/6 miles again in all directions

What are the odds of a speed camera(s) now being installed on this road, making it the first in fife?

The scamera vans used to be on the A92 regularly, usually near Cowdenbeath.
I haven't travelled along there for a while so I don't know if that's still the case.

Nowhere near as often anymore. I travel along that road twice a day, see a scamera once a week if lucky.

Commiserations.
I used to do that and it was the most frustrating experience of my life - forever stuck in a 60mph queue in the fast lane.

I've seen quite a lot of them further up the A92, usually somewhere either side of Rathillet.
At least they are on a bit of road that's quite noted for being dangerous.

Could not agree more. Its highly frsutrating when that happens.
