TBH that stretch of the M4 is notorious for accidents 
in both directions as there have been some really serious accidents there 
.
The road surface is not the best either
and as I drive that stretch in both directions at least 3 times a week I have not really noticed a difference in the speed taken throught that stretch and if anything the traffic is flowing quicker. 
I think that they (the cameras) are working there and should be left in place until they improve the road surface or finally re-route the M4 around Newport.

Good points Ty.
If people don't speed they would not need them and will lose revenue and the money generated will not be there to re-surface roads etc.
If people don't insure/tax their cars - we end up paying bigger premiums to cover the cost of uninsured car accidents.
BUT
The number of road deaths drops each year but the number of cameras/restrictions/limits increases.
I wonder why track days are now so popular

To be fair most of the specs cameras are where there are road repairs being undertaken. I've only stopped once or twice to get out of the car on a motorway when i've had a puncture and it **** me up a bit! If someone hits you at that speed it's nighty night time!

Yes they are..my detector goes daft..!!
I said in a similar thread, don't understand why they are only on that small part, if they are there to slow the traffic for the works then why arn't they further down???
Went to Swansea yesterday, everyone slow through the camera's then once on the other side of the tunnels everyone boots it, so a majority cars (in particular the suit on a peg brigade ) are powering through the road works at brake-neck speed, only slowing for the static camera's...
