M4 Junction 15 'Safety Van'
Discussion
Yeah - of course!
I wish someone would explain why there was a 'safety van' sat on a motorway bridge just prior to Junction 15 M4 - looks like it was trying to catch speeders coming down the hill!
Damn ridiculous. I've been driving that stretch of road for the last 11 years and I cannot remember seeing a safety van on that junction. It was obvious it was trying to catch speedsters coming down the hill
Did anyone catch that van? and just what consitutes safety? I cannot remember any accidents on that particular spot - certainly not heading down the hill

They've been sitting on the M4 bridges since April 2005.
From the horses mouth, they cover a point approximately 2.1 km east of junction 17 to a point approximately 7.6 km east of junction 15. The only reason you haven't seen them before is down to sheer good luck!
I recently asked the Wilts SCP how many collisions have happened due to excess speed, I'm just about to start another thread with their answer.

I would like to know the answer. I can't ever remember not getting access to Junction 15 from the A417/9 because of an accident between Junction 14 and Junction 15. Between Hungerford and Swindon the m4 is very quietFrom the horses mouth, they cover a point approximately 2.1 km east of junction 17 to a point approximately 7.6 km east of junction 15.

There's been plenty of accidents on that stretch since they started putting the vans there.
Did you know that one of the accidents that the scameraship used to justify the vans was a pedestrian committing suicide by jumping off a bridge?
And another was a van blown over in a high wind.Did you know that one of the accidents that the scameraship used to justify the vans was a pedestrian committing suicide by jumping off a bridge?

If they were really sly they could around having accidents with their own vans, then suddenly the scamera van's could appear to save us all.
