But OP claims there's a clearly visible 60 sign on the road in the photo they sent...can you post up the picture, OP?

Is the spot in question on Google Street View?

Thanks for your advice. I did come off the East Lancs Road however continued on and the incident occurred at A6 Broad Street, at Slip Road to Charles Street, Salford.

I currently have no points and getting caught by this speed camera was a first in about 14 years driving. I accept I was probably culpable however it was a confusing road especially how it became single carriageway. The main reason I thought I could appeal is because in the police photographs which they produced as evidence you can see my car and road markings say 60 and I was doing 58mph. However there may have been other signs elsewhere that I missed.

Cheers.

Is this the area?

Can't see any 60 markings on the road, but there's a clear 50 and Gatso camera warning

If you look at the actual stripey lines on the speed camera, it says 60 in the left hand lane. But it's in now way a speed sign. OP has nooo chance.

the 60 is in the dragon's teeth line's for the Gatso nothing to do with the limit, yes it can be seen on St. view.

Is this a change of speed limit? IE from 60 to 50?

Briefly. Just read 'em again.

Roughly where does the 50 limit start? You say 6-7 miles, any chance you could find it?
