Traffic merging obscure variable speed limit.
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6469969.
The traffic merging from junction 7 includes numerous HGV. These vehicles often push onto the motorway in front of cars. This can involve 2 lanes and vehicles have a compromised view of the signage in the short section of curving road leading up to the speed camera at Junction 8. If the speed changes at this gantry then vehicles have inadequate notice as the camera will record them as speeding within 30m of passing the gantry. The camera and signage need to be reviewed urgently to afford sufficient notice allowing for commonly compromised view.
