Hi,
Did a search and found nothing recent on this subject. Drive this section only a couple of times a month and some time ago I stopped looking out to see if cameras have been installed. Then last night on M25 south, just about to peel off down the M3, I noticed camera boxes on the overhead gantry. They looked different to the ones that used to be on that section before the widening, which were same as currently between M3 and A3.
Have they been there long and did I miss a ton of newly installed cameras before I got to the ones I spotted?
Cheers,
Dave

If you just stick to the limit, or thereabouts, you won't need to have an answer to your question. Dull but true.

Unfortunately, when they stick a random '40' in an otherwise unrestricted section, as they often do, it's not that simple. It takes a brave individual to brake from 70-80 down to 40 on a piece of road that's flowing perfectly well, but which is notorious for snoozing artic drivers and suffers a couple of serious rear end shunts a week on average.
I support the variable limits wholeheartedly, but they have to be used sensibly.
Cheers

I thought this had been covered a couple of months ago.
IIRC the cameras have been converted to digital between J15 and J12 (both ways)
Again IIRC they are set at 10% plus 2mph over the shown speed limit. There were a number of people posting on here - myself included - who had it "on good authority" that this was so.

On the M4 Sunday before last there were a lot of variable limit signs, some as low as 40, on completely unobstructed bits of motorway. They were in different colours too. Is green an advisory for the sake of your wallet and the environment, while orange and red are increasingly angry commands by the authorities?
Whatever the reason for these coloured numbers, everyone else ignored them, so I did too.
