Posted: 14:52 - 22 Mar 2017 Post subject: M4(E) Junction 3 to 1 Average speed cameras? |
|
|
Hi All,
So I noticed yesterday after not being on the bike for a week that in that time away they seem to have installed 3 or 4 rear facing average speed cameras on this section of the M4. No warnings are up regarding them being average speed and I am not sure they are live.
They start just after the 60 section and then finish in the 40 juts before the elevated section. My google foo just returned a FOI request from some one trying to find out about them.
I know they are turning it in to a smart motorway but does anyone know or seen any other info about when these go live? Most of it is not a problem as speeds are sub 40 in the traffic but the first bit is sometimes a bit free'er flowing allowing for err.... better progress ____________________ "no I didn't steal it that's just the way I ride" |

Yh they started to install them about 2 weeks ago, I saw the guys putting them up
They've got at least 1 on the northbound direction as soon it hits NSL too which would insinuate there are more to go up.
Like you said I've seen no signs....
I hope they aren't on yet as I've made some great... progress today (and most days) on that stretch of road... ____________________ Had: '06 CBR125R + '01 GSF600 + '07 SPRINT ST 1050 + '80 CB250 RSA + '93 Ducati 900SS

Could have sworn the M4 ran east-west? |

Good point, I ride from south to north west so I call it northbound...
But yes, westbound* ____________________ Had: '06 CBR125R + '01 GSF600 + '07 SPRINT ST 1050 + '80 CB250 RSA + '93 Ducati 900SS

I spotted two new signs up at after junction two stating "Average Speed Check Area". Spotted the one on the way out yesterday although it did seem to be just the one.

Yep I saw a sign on the way in today
Any update on the FOI request for when they will be used? I only started using that road to avoid the average speed cameras down the A40 ____________________ Had: '06 CBR125R + '01 GSF600 + '07 SPRINT ST 1050 + '80 CB250 RSA + '93 Ducati 900SS

what a pain, i only noticed the signs on the way back out over the flyover today, i don't usually use it westbound, and as far as i could see there's none heading eastbound over the flyover once you've passed the two sets (now removed) gatsos
Anyway, it's not a go-live date but this says 'enabling' works to commence by end March, so probs this week?
