Scumbria

drove through this wonderful county last week
they have roadworks at the end of the M6 and they have installed specs on it
however the roadworks end and for about a mile the 40 limit continues on a clear road and at the end of the road there is the last specs camera
cynicaly positioned to catch people as they speed up after the roadworks
no justification for the continuation of the 40 limit and its only there to catch the unsuspecting

scum

Roadworks were probably longer initially and they haven't amended camera locations.... Or scum.

It normal practice We note this on M56 roadworks couple of years ago .. somewhere in Cheshire as before the A55 to B-B-Brunstromia (the scam lurgy ist rather contagious )

Then somewhere South on A1(M) ., the Jag's Sat Nav decided to take me out of road works jams on M1 by taking me down some other scam infested route .. we had the same thing. Paired scams at start of roadworks.. then the third with the last one just before the NSL sign It not rocket science to work out why this so und this very action prove beyond reasoned doubt that "safety" not on the agenda at all. I came across two more with another on M25 on that journey toward Dover.

On the return.. decided to visit another relative somewhere Came across another such scam in Cambridgeshire.

I also recall road works (resurface) on M6(Toll) .. I think about this time last year. These also SPECS. These also had the final one stationed just as eyes take in the NSL sign/end of road workds just a couple of seconds ahead. It not rockety science to suss out that the point of this has nothing to do with cutting any KSI but everything to do with CA££££SH!

duly noted the scamera in cumbria on my last trip to scotland. being a very sceptical person, having not seen a nsl sign, i continued at the limit from the roadworks. I could see how people would get caught out though, there wasnt even a repeater of the lowered limit before the last scamera.
Still, think of the 4 children, 8 puppies and 15 bunny rabbits I saved by not 'speeding'

Drive though there a lot and the roadworks have always been that length. They've purely done it to catch people out as they only installed the cameras a month or two ago.
