Well the 50 mph roadwork section that stretches from the NEC to the M40 has had GATSO speed camera's erected, probably 8 in total, there were not there last night...just updated my Origin B2 with the new location so hopefully they will update their database..

The bleeding roadworks have been there ages so looks like they have spotted a money making opportunity, the workmen are protected by concrete barriers so there is no safety issue, most people do not to 50mph but 60mph which is perfectly safe..

Take it easy

The amount of people I've seem whizzing past at 70-80 in the 50mph limit during busy and bad conditions is disgusting [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Obviously it's caught the attention of plod too who'll find it irrisistable to earn a few pennies

Only problem now is that it will make the current "caterpillar" (fast, slow, fast, slow)effect problems on the M42 when busy even worse with people panic braking [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

"the workmen are protected by concrete barriers"

When did this happen? I haven't seen a single workman along that stretch in months

Time to give MAD a call

drove past this place today and saw 3 workmen having a coffee/tea while leaning over the concrete blocks watching the cars go by - good job if you can get it!
