    So perhaps that they switched them off on April 1st, could have been just an April fools prank.

    In November?

    Started February previous year.

    Min you I wouldn't trust the M6 when the variable speeds aren't on either. Although they are not enforcening excess speed it is being monitered.

    I , and others certainly do, to risky for the few seconds to know if they are off or on. On the A34 at the exit of M6 J7 southbound before scott arms, people slow for that, A34 High St newtown and birchfield road, people slow for that, the one on the northbound they slow for that too, and the northbound one has benn replaced with a different looking gatso.

    It's the same story for the opposite direction towards Walsall. Even when the news story broke that they switched them off people still slowed down for them.

    Just having the lines on the road is a deterent, I had noticed that the burnt out ones were replaced, so I never trusted that they were off.

    I only know of one that hasn't been replaced, by the villa training ground but that's a different partnership.
