Someone mentioned the m1 now has the average speed cameras working now.. Is this true?

There popping up all over the place now & 2 sections of the A1 near me were always 70 but a couple of months ago they dropped the limit down to 50

don't speed & you'll be fine plus you'll save a bit in fuel to

There is northbound from junction 28 through the roadworks but not sure about further down south.

55 mph max for me now, dont want to push much more with muds on, plus cheaper on fuel to find a lorry to sit behind!

Ive seen the yellow ones with 3 cameras in road works that are meant to be average. Two sections one is south of sheffield and one section around wakefield. We also have the smart motorway along the m62 that has standard gatzos on gantries above each lane, the highways agency vary the speed and the cameras get you but often people forget the speed limit is 70 mph and the cameras will revert to this speed limit. Drivers then charge through at great speed because the signs are not flashing up or what ever and get a ticket and complain
