New cameras have gone up in the last week on the stretch of M4 between PT and the BF flyover.
No idea if they are live but there’s an absence of ‘camera not in use’ signs.
You’ve been warned. |  |

I'm sure there used to be a flashing warning sign on the road. Almost certain. Has it been removed? |
There is flashing speed notification on the Grovesend to Pontardulais route. Not aware of any on the speed camera van route, not seen it in that area particular of Gorseinon itself. Did not appear to be one there the last time I traveled that way.
Got nothing wrong with supplementary use of speed camera vans providing there is adequate signage to avoid deliberate revenue raising intent. Those flashing speed notification signs are superb because they make most people think about their speed and they tend to slow down anyhow upon seeing them. Far more accident preventable than people jamming on their brakes, the speed camera van by the junction is placed in lesser preferable spot. |  |

I am slowly but surely getting into the habit of using the train when I’m heading east alone.
Swansea to London return can be achieved for £60 if planned correctly and the GWR service is a pretty good standard (please don’t confuse my comment with local services which is a different matter altogether). Journey time also comparable at three hours with the added bonus of Wi-fi and a more relaxing journey. Admittedly it’s not necessarily cost effective when travelling with company. |
Not such a good price if you are a couple or a family |  | | |

Inappropriate speed kills. That and bad driving. Perhaps they should be making it harder for bad drivers to get/keep licences than make a stretch of road that was perfectly fine at 70mph for years a 50 zone.
Add Carmarthen Road to that list. Absolutely no reason whatsoever for it to be a 30mph limit. |
Can’t see how Carmarthen Road can be anything but a 30mph speed limit. It runs mainly through a very busy built up area and contains numerous traffic signals and junctions, it would be dangerous for it to be otherwise. |  | | |

If it's to limit pollution, there's hardly anyone living near that stretch of motorway. It's a revenue making scheme |
Can electric vehicle drivers still drive at 70 as they do not emit any exhaust fumes. | |

No because they are more likely to be vegetarians which means they fart more. |  |

Some of the reasons in this thread 😂😂
If you need flashing signs etc to not break the speed limit, go hand your licence in to the DVLA and save the rest of us from your incompetence. |  |

Some drivers need a penalty notice before they slow down. | |

The fact that it's lined with houses may have something to do with it? |  |

Nonsense. Utter fuçking nonsense. There’s no need for the stretch to be 50mph it’s just another money making exercise. |
Due to the number and close proximity of junctions and the fact that it’s elevated means there is a need for a 50 limit |  |

Carmarthen Road should definitely be 30 mph, its a built up area with houses, schools, businesses etc close to the road. |  | | |

The problem with speed cameras is that they catch decent drivers
The moron who tail gates then speds off at 130mph never gets caught
I’m not anti speed cameras in some cases but they are flawed | | | |

Drove to Newport and back yesterday, left home at 11.30am got home at 4pm. The volume of traffic, in both directions, was incredible, especially the section of motorway mentioned in this thread.
It’s no pleasure driving these days. | | | |

So the guy breaking the speed limit and gets caught is a decent guy
But the guys who breaks the speed limit and doesnt get caught is a moron
I'm seeing your logic... |  | | |

Biggest gripe I have is middle lane cruisers. Its rank bad driving . No less than that.
Tail gating is also becoming worse.
Drivers should be aware of braking distances but few are,let alone the consequences of not allowing more distance in rainy conditions. A car is a man s cage,and not to be interfered with.
Most men would rather be called a bad sh@g than a bad driver.
It says much. | |

If the speed limit is set to reduce pollution then it's not a safety issue.Just saying! | | | |
| Average speed cameras - PT to B.Ferry flyover on 15:16 - Sep 13 with 1369 views | perchrockjack |
I'm not convinced of that argument.
Pollution is nothing compared with the thick,noxious , poisonous stuff that was evident in bygone days.
It's not ,by the way,slagging off Swansea. Its a fact.
I was brought up in a large ,heavily industrialised town that provided work for the majority.
Now,it's gone and the industrila fumes have gone only to be replaced with that from increased car ownership.
British men will give up anything but their cars.

You can’t compare being slightly over the limit to someone driving 130 mph
It’s not comparable | | | |

I’ve driven this stretch a few times recently and each time seen drivers braking hard when spotting the new cameras. Then slowing right down to try and lower their speed back to the required average. Bound to be a few tail end accidents over the next few months. | | | |

Drivers invariably do not allow enough space between their vehicle and that in front.
I assume ALL fellow drivers are complete kunts and deaf ,dumb and blind.
If you are a motor cyclist,it's a good mantra. | |

| Average speed cameras - PT to B.Ferry flyover on 14:45 - Sep 14 with 1171 views | bluey_the_blue |
Those who do leave enough space then find cars cutting into that gap, causing them to slow down to maintain gap... rinse and repeat. | | | |
| Average speed cameras - PT to B.Ferry flyover on 14:48 - Sep 14 with 1169 views | perchrockjack |
Well, that cannot be helped with the dickheads we have o the roads.However, it is a drivers responsibility to maintain a safe gap. Driving isnt easy .It's an often difficult challenge and one that is often best devoid of radio ot text messages. Utter and complete concentration and you have a better chance of avoiding death.
Make allowances for the abject cretins out there in fook off cars they cannot drive. | |
