Hi,

Just in case you use the Toll they are impose a 50 and 30 speed limts in the areas around the toll booths (to increase revenue?)

Hi,

I do not know of any fixed camera but they do use cars and mobile cameras.

I thought those speed limits had been there for a while? The signs certainly have.

Or do you mean they're going to enforce them now? (Since everybody flys through the 30 at 70mph until they have to stop for the booths. )

Hi,

I think they were suggestions until 25th May 2006. I would guess there will be some enforcement as a lot of people seem to assume the toll is private and cammera free.

also if you have just be doing 80, 30 is really slow so I am sure there is money to be made, it making a loss on the toll.....

It does not seem too bad to me, the speed limits are only for about 1km on either side of the toll booths.


Not as if you want to be barreling into them at 70+ anyway.

There's no fixed cameras but the Traffic cops LOVE that road, Look out for plain(unmarked) Skoda Octavia's, RS Model, They caught a friend of a friend last Saturday at 153 MPH, bye bye licence,oh dear!

The M6 toll is usually really good for top speed runs, being 70 of course officer.

Surely it's to stop people going too fast into the toll area.

Saw an unmarked, newish dark blue/black Ford Mondeo saloon that looked to be well in excess of a ton chasing down someone on there last Thursday.

[NSR Mick]

I've started going to London quite regular now and have started going a little quick down the toll , I'm really going to have to start restraining myself.

Be careful speeding down the toll road. There are loads of Police there. The fact it's probably the safest road in Britain bares no fact in this case.
They stand on bridges with cameras and I've seen 3 marked cars futher up pulling people. This is pretty regular.

I assume the cameras are just to ruin peoples fun racing away from the toll, which is an obligatory unwritten law BTW.

For folks' information, the new race rules is now a rolling start type with the 70 sign the new start line.

Speeding on the approach to tolls isn't a good idea as there are lots of blind drivers making sudden changes of lane to "queue jump", and as there are lorries etc. passing through, you can be pretty sure there will be oil and diesel drips about the place.

The 50 limit approaching the tolls on the Severn Bridge is enforced by camera vans, and I would imagine that the limits on the M6T will be enforced too.

I can understand the reason for them too - there are lots of accidents on the approach to / exit from toll booths as people tend not to look anywhere but ahead, and they then side-swipe a vehicle as 9000 lanes merge in to 3.

Oh, and try not to do what I did and break the auto-tolls
