Scott, could you cut 'n' paste this info please? I'm guessing its about the mandatory variable speed limit now in force.<br>
<br>
I came up the M42 in the truck today at about noon, the speed cameras just South of the A34 / A3400 junction were flashing away like a 1989 "field disco". <br>

There are new speed cameras on the gantries over the M42 around Solihull/NEC etc.. My Snooper picks them up as Gatsos but they are grey boxes sited behind the speed restriction rondels. I've not seen any of them flash and I wonder if anyone has any info on these devices.<br>

# Digital Enforcement Cameras <br>
<br>
* Used By: West Midlands Police <br>
* Features: Once mandatory speed limits are introduced new digital cameras will be in use. You will notice ladder markings on the road surface and camera signs on the gantries <br>
* Purpose: To ensure compliance with the overhead signals for the safe and effective operation of the scheme in reducing congestion and the impact of incidents <br>
<br>
<br>
I think your detectors and everyone else are going to be a nightmare on this section. <br>
no one will go over 70, yet ,as stated above from the highways website, they are only live when the mandatory speed signs illuminate. <br>
So if you want to go over 70, you can if its not telling you otherwise. <br>
<br>
Live as of yesterday............<br>
