Does anyone know if there is a temporary speed limit in force along the M4 at Swindon between J16 & J18?
I drove along this stretch of road 5.00pm yesterday at 70mph at the same speed as everyone else. I went under a temporary speed camera mounted on a bridge and think I was "flashed".
I do not recall seeing any warning of a reduced speed limit although the hard shoulder was coned off. After the camera I did notice 50mph signs in the ditch at the side of the road, but not on the main carridgeway.
All three lanes were open and moving at about 70mph.....I had plenty of time ot see the camera and to adjust my speed accrodingly (although I was only cruising at around 70mph anyway), so if I thought the speed limit was 50, I would have been doing 50 when I passed the camera.
Will I have been "caught" for speeding?
