So now the Section of the M621 just after the M1-A1 link split is being brought down to 50! Whats the point? Nobody takes notice of it around the corner so I doubt this bit is going to be adhered to either! I have noticed a new Trafpol Pad on the section too so they are going to try and enforce it for a while. Mind this is the section one of the fast car mags was pretty good to test top speed on but that was years ago!

Thats exactly right.. was on the radio a few days ago. M621 is one of the sites approved for a speed camera.

Likely cos there has been an accident there recently, for the first time in over a decade, so of course the rules of chance predicts that there will not be another accident at that exact same location within the year, which the government will claim to be a reduction in the accident rate, so everyone involved with the scamera rollout will shout 'hurrah for the safety camera'.

Checked the "proposed" list. Looks like the Gnome Gywnne hasn't got it on his list.... Yet.
