Anyone else seen police on m6 after the roadworks before the exit to m62 to Liverpool? One of them is sitting in a covered enterance off the motorway and one on the immediately following bridge. Slow down for that bit. Now can someone tell me how to put this on waze so that I can fulfill the rest of my obligation to the community? Cheers.

Was it the police or a mobile speed camera?

I wouldn't bother reporting to Waze, pretty sure they'll have gone by now....

It was two police cars. One of the cars was hiding behind trees, I couldn't see what the officer inside the car was doing but the officer outside the car did not have any camera equipment.

The other car that also looked like a police car was on the immediately following bridge but the car was not parked facing the on coming traffic. Maybe they were noting the number plates from behind.

Police dont just sit waiting on speeders, they do also look for other stuff you know.

Been two cars, could well have been one watching for a particular car to pass and the other one be notified and join ahead of said car so they can stop it?

I am not sure if the car parked on the bridge had easy and fast access to the motorway. The way both were placed, it did not seem like any of them were looking to catch a particular car. I could be wrong but I think it's better to slow down for that part.
