  Hi All, After some advice. My local road (A38) Mansfield has an average speed limit of 50 mph with average speed cameras. One of the sets of lights along this stretch used to have a red light camera (been there for years) now it seem they have swapped it out for a 30 mph speed camera

  to introduce the start of the lower limit, so the limit goes from from 70mph to 40mph. I have spotted the odd SPECS camera on this stretch though some of the posts don't have cameras on the yet.
