Temporary Speed Cameras Installed on M74

Temporary average speed cameras will be enforced on the M74 this week due to essential bridge refurbishment work being conducted by Amey, with a 30mph speed limit in effect between junctions 9 and 11. This 30-week refurbishment program includes critical upgrades like waterproofing and concrete repairs, mostly conducted at night to minimize traffic disruption. Concurrently, National Highways is consulting on plans to reduce speed limits on several sections of the A47 in Norfolk from 60mph to 50mph, following a high number of injury crashes in the area. The proposed changes aim to enhance safety and will be enforced with speed cameras. Public feedback on these proposals is invited for a period of 21 days, with expected implementation between Spring and Winter 2025. Ultimately, these measures reflect a broader initiative by authorities to improve road safety for all users.
