they did that on the A414 with some new works recently...if you were over 50mph it flashde 'slow down' as you approached the roundabout. Speed wasnt the reason there are millions of crashes their, but lack of concentration was - and so this was a good idea. In some cases it caused people to speed up - but lets face it, they arent the ones who dont see people pulling out...it seemed to work fine on the majority of the population...so why is it not active anymore???

On the M4 in South Wales (around J25 Newport) they quite often post messages - "Don't Drink and Drive" etc. Occasionally they put them is Welsh too! Could we possibly learn something from the Welsh...?
The message that appears in welsh actually says "piss off back to England or we'll burn your cottage"
