M48 into A48 Cardiff Approach

[WhiskyDisco]

I think I found the most unfair positioning of a camera van today.

As I was coming off the M48 onto the A48 I came across a camera van almost immediately beyond the first 50 mph signs.

The M48 stops...but turns into the A48, which as a dual carriageway has a 70 mph limit. But it's actually a 50.

The first sign is not on the main carriageway, but on the entry sliproad. Then there are two 50 signs on the main carriageway - but BANG there is a camera van straight after the signs. I was on the brakes when I saw the signs but I don't think I was quick enough to avoid the van. I recon I was doing 55-60 mph.

Has anyone else been caught on on this road?

Yes it was the first time driving down to Cardiff. The time was about 11.00.

I might be lucky and find that I was under the limit, but I suspect slightly above. I remember slowing and flashing a car to pull out from the slip so might be fine (and not get fined).

I guess it was a shock to see 50 mph signs and a camera straight away!

I will certainly pay attention next time.

The van was over the approach lane, and the window was facing me.
