Yes, those that drive the motorways be very aware that the signs that
used to exist telling you that there is a limit approaching at
roadworks are no longer in place. Under poor conditions and/or heavy
traffic the non-iluminated signs that designate the start of the new
limit can be hard to spot in time to slow down without braking and
that's from just over 60mph not the limit of 70. Then of course the
first average speed camera is only yards past the first limit sign.

This is not the first time that there has been an infringement in the
sign posts on the M6.

I don't think there is any legal requirement to have advanced warning
of the a limit change. So if approaching roadworks assume that there
will be a 50 limit but note not all roadworks do have a 50 limit...
