I came across this organisation this morning www.cfit.gov.uk/mf/. I'm sure it's already known by some on here but if you click on membership I see no representation from the IAM, ROSPA, ABD, Safespeed etc - well there's a surprise!

That's because "Integrated Transport" is politico-speak for trains and buses.

Re - www.cfit.gov.uk/mf/reports/aware/index.htm

I was interested, and somewhat encouraged to read this...

Driver Behaviour at Roadworks
(a) In coned-off areas:

Consider employing digital speed cameras through the coned-off area at roadworks in place of single site cameras.
Consider imposing alternative speed limits at roadworks linked to whether contractors are working on site.


I frequently drive along the M4 in the early hours, and am constantly frustrated at having to drive at 50mph or the recent trend towards a 40mph limit when there's nobody actually working at the site!
