Just to add to this conversation, the cameras on the M42 don't operate unless there is a visible matrix sign

Although i cannot confirm this, the cameras on the M42 are the same version and type as the M25 and can be set to any speed limit even if nothing is displayed on the signal.
The best thing to do it stick below 80 on a controlled motorway or ATM motorway.

thank god for that. i havent had a look at any plans for it, i was just assuming where it might end by the bridges that have been going up.

It does sort of end there, but of course you have to use the accesses for J21 Seaward Street, and not the M8 mainline. It is quite impressive, was there not so long ago. Apparently the were meant to widen the M8 to 4 lanes between Cardonald and M77 but that hasn't happened yet.

it is quite impressive and coming along at a fair pace.

i also passed the work at moodiesburn the other day when west of scotland haulage were delivering the steel beams for the bridges. they came on huge trailers and caused a slight inconvenience but i think everyone was watching in awe at the drivers ability to manouvre such a large trailer with so little space.
