A spokesperson for the force said: "[[Police Scotland]] Safety Cameras made the decision to install red-light cameras following discussion with Glasgow City Council and [[Police Scotland]].
"With eight injury collisions at this junction over a four-year period, five were caused by drivers disobeying the traffic signals.
"Further traffic surveys were conducted and found a significant level of red light running here, equivalent to approximately 450 offences per day.
"The Vector SR cameras, which have been installed at the site, use tracking radar for red-light enforcement and have multi-lane coverage.
"The technology operates in a 'non-invasive' way, removing the need for loops or strips in the junction's road surface. Infra-red technology allows images to be captured without the need for a camera flash.
Alan Bowater, Area Manager, said: "We urge all road users to pay attention to traffic signals and drive responsibly – the consequences of failing to do so can be life-changing.
"The introduction of the enforcement camera at this location is a targeted measure aimed at reducing risk and encouraging safer driving behaviours."

The worst roads in Scotland for speeding fines are unveiled
Police Scotland have confirmed the number of drivers caught out by cameras across the country with one stretch of road seeing around one speeding offence an hour Nearly 50,000 drivers were caught speeding in a year in Scotland and received Fixed Penalty Notices from police. And new data shows the roads where offences happened the most. The country's worst road for being caught speeding by a camera was a stretch of the A9 between Inverness and Dunblane and in second place was the A90 between Dunblane and Stonehaven. The figures, gathered by Legal Expert, showed that Police Scotland informed 49,609 drivers that they had committed a speeding offence in the year ending March 2025. The figure only accounts for offences captured through fixed, mobile or average speed cameras. Motorists caught speeding will usually see three points added to their licence. Reaching 12 points within three years will disqualify them from driving. They are also sent a Conditional Offers of a Fixed Penalty Notice (COFPNs). The fixed penalty for speeding is £100 and this means that drivers caught in Scotland face a staggering £4,960,900 worth of potential fines. Police Scotland has also confirmed most of the 'worst' 20 roads for speeding offences in the past year. The force would not reveal which roads with fixed cameras had the most cases, stating: 'We are unable to provide any location data for Fixed Speed cameras as to do so would reveal information about which sites were live at any given time. "Disclosure would clearly indicate the enforcement activity of particular cameras and show patterns/ trends, thereby encouraging drivers to commit offences, based on an assumption that they are unlikely to be detected at particular sites/ dates etc. Such an impact on driver behaviour renders safety cameras ineffective as a road safety measure." The busiest camera in the country, according to the figures, is an average speed camera on the A9. Drivers going southbound from Inverness to Dunblane committed 8,413 offences, which works out at close to one every hour on average. Those offences led to 4,229 people receiving a COFPN. Second on the list was the A90 between Dundee and Stonehaven, where 7,994 drivers exceeded the speed limit. The A90 appears twice more in the top 20. Part of its Edinburgh leg, between Burnshot Flyover and Cammo Road, is fifth on the list (4,296 offences) while the intersection of Dundee's Kingsway West and Charlotte Street is tenth (1,512 offences). Here are the top 20 roads for speeding offences in Scotland: Location Camera Type Offences COFPNs Issued A9 Specs Inverness to Dunblane Average Speed 8413 4229 A90 Specs Dundee to Stonehaven Average Speed 7994 4173 M80 South between J1 offslip and the merge with the M8 West J13 (roadworks) Average Speed 4847 3439 Fixed Speed Fixed Speed 4441 2703 A90 Road Edinburgh between Burnshot Flyover and Cammo Road Mobile 4296 3255 M80, near to Junction 9 slip road, Bannockburn Average Speed 3496 2276 Fixed Speed Fixed Speed 2993 2240 Fixed Speed Fixed Speed 2869 1905 Fixed Speed Fixed Speed 1543 857 A90 Aberdeen to Dundee at Kingsway West Charlotte Street Mobile 1512 1078 M80 near to Barnego Road Overbridge Dunipace Mobile 1417 1152 Fixed Speed Fixed Speed 1325 810 A68 Road Soutra Hill North From the West Entrance to Dunlaw Wind Farm Scottish Borders Mobile 1288 984 Fixed Speed Fixed Speed 1269 624 A77 Bogend to Hansel Village Average Speed 1180 731 Fixed Speed Fixed Speed 1125 621 Fixed Speed Fixed Speed 1038 335 M74 South Lesmahagow between Junction 9 and Junction 11 Average Speed 915 269 A96 near Bainshole Mobile 772 617 A92 New Inn to Glenrothes at Balfarg Junction Mobile 724 552 The force also revealed the five worst speeding offenders in the region. Topping this list was a driver who, in August 2024, clocked 148mph on the A68 in the Scottish Borders–a whopping 88mph over speed limit. Just months later, the same stretch of A road was the site of a horror crash that left Hibs assistant manager Eddie May hospitalised. A 29-year-old man was charged with a road traffic offence after the incident. In all, four drivers broke the 130mph mark, according to speed camera detection. Half of them were going over a 60mph speed limit at the time.
