As somebody who may be working on that section of the M621, I think it's quite welcome. As the OP said in his original post there are several junctions on that stretch and "curves" quite a bit.

So perhaps instead of thinking of your own slight inconvenience think of those who are working on the motorway.

Quite, I'm with you on this one. The M5 section that's 30mph is a bit of a bind but it's not made me want to go and moan on the internet, I just slap the cruise on, relax and wait for nice rolling start 😂

Why is there this utter certainty on ph that reducing the speed limit in roadworks is only for the safety of the workers?

Why do they do it then?

I don't mind lower speed limits for road works. what I do mind is the miles and miles (and miles) of cones before and after where the work is actually taking place. I could understand a buffer of say 500m before and after but literally miles?

Maybe it’s to offer some reduced risk to the only other people on the motorway that aren’t the road workers.
