The newer ones on the South end of M1, that are halfway up the gantry's left hand support do not appear to.

I've definitely seen those flash at night
Ah, maybe they only flash when dark then :y.

They flash all right, seen them go off, regularly in the early hours, it's like a thunder flash, without the bang.

He has? Public outcry, no doubt!
Where is the threshold now, then? There was nothing wrong with "10% + 2 mph over", if we MUST have speed limits.
As we all know, it isn't speed per se that is the problem, but inappropriate speed, regardless of any posted limit: for instance, 30 mph outside schools at going in/coming out times, or fog/icy roads (unless you have the magic eyes that all BMW drivers have that can see clearly through fog!).
The limits are purely arbitrary, set many decades ago, and do not take into account road conditions or anything else - just a blanket limit. Still, they do help in revenue collection - not that would be a factor, of course?

It keeps the do-gooders happy, like the retards from BRAKE...

...until I get voted in, and cure the housing crisis, the NHS crisis and every other crisis.
