Average Speed Cameras On M1 between Jct10-Jct12

Options
Hello everyone

Does anyone know if the Average Speed Cameras On M1 between Jct10-Jct12 are operational.

Driving thru a couple of days ago and came across 12 of these cameras.
However, there were

No warnings

No signs indicating cameras and/or speed limits

and some cameras have signs saying "camera not in use" and some don't.

Was doing 70mph when I encountered the 1st camera, slowed down to 60mph

However people were shooting past me at higher speeds

If anyone knows if these Average Speed Cameras On M1 between Jct10-Jct12 are operational, or where I can find the information.

It will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

    Why did you slow down to 60? Was it a 60 area?

    In my experience whenever there are these avg. speed cameras it is usually 50mph, but as people were shooting past me, everyone, about 200+ cars over this 15 mile strech , I just thought they knew something that I didn't

    I was obeying the speed limit initally, i.e. 70mph, however usually whenever there are these cameras it is always a slower speed

    The first 6 cameras I went past did not say anything, however the last 6 had the square yellow sign stating "camera not in use"
  • Assuming these cameras are in use how long do you have to wait for a ticket ????

    I'm 100% sure that none of them are in use at the moment, I did wonder why they had been put up if nobody was using them :confused:. Maybe they will be at some point but we are safe for the time being.
