Which bit of the A46, just out of interest? Around Leicester perhaps - bearing in mind the A46 goes from somewhere near Newark-on-Trent to somewhere in the SW of England beyond Stroud.

I wouldn't class Grimsby as being 'somewhere near Newark' smile

Use Waze? Saved me a few times, when “pushing on”… whistle

Spotted scameras all over the place during summer months, including this week in Leeds. Sneaky fkers.

Is the right answer.

I am guessing that bit of the A46 was removed by the T' North filter. wink

Near cotgrave on Sunday - saw them late knew I would be getting something through the post frown

Sunny day, empty dual carriageway. Not a cash making exercise at all

It's quite deflating.

I'm expecting something in the post any moment now. I'd just spent an hour on the M6, dealing with poor driving from folk who have no lane discipline and just turn zombie doing 70mph in "the fast lane minus one". I came off the M6 onto a dual carriageway, perfectly straight, engaged the throttle a little bit too much then spotted the van. <sigh>

As I often drive on the Southern end of the A46, I checked it out on Sabre:
"The A46 was first classified in 1922 and ran from Bath to Grimsby".
