I was informed yesterday that a roadworks end sign canceles tempoary speed limits.

Is this actually correct? I remember seeing NSL diagonals on signs at the end of roadworks on the motorway. Surely the "digging man and End" does not appear in the speed signage regs.

End sign
The End sign indicates not only the end of works but also the end of any temporary restrictions, including temporary speed limits, associated with the works.

If the permanent speed limit changes within the length of road covered by a temporary speed restriction, signs indicating the new speed limit must be provided on each side of the carriageway at the end of the works, in addition to the End sign.

You must place an End sign beyond works that are 50 metres or more in length (measured between the end of the lead-in taper and the beginning of the exit taper) and beyond two or more adjacent sites.

But an End sign is not necessary on a road where ALL of the following conditions are met :

there are no temporary speed limits or other traffic restrictions

the speed limit is 30 mph or under

there is a total two-way traffic flow of less than 20 vehicles counted over 3 minutes (400 veh/hr)

less than 20 heavy goods vehicles pass the works site per hour.


being REALY padantic, one END sign gas a black line round it like the DFT web site and the other dosent. Does that mean it isnt leagally an END sign.... LOL

The 50 sign abd warning bycles was removed from commercial rd during the first week of may with the power pole. A new lit sign was added to the lamp post.

A date in July has been set for the first court case.

Just a quick update, I had an e-mail from Barry Culshaw. As a result of the extensive set of photos that were submitted by a public spirited citizen (me,LOL) and an extensive statement the CPS have decided there was "there is not enough evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction".

Defendant Jason E**** rode his motorcycle over redbridge flyover east bound the evening before I took my first batch of photos.

The case was due to be heard next Monday, Jan 14th.10am. The hearing is expected to be vacated

Many of the signs in this case have been corrected but the terminal signs at ashurst remain un lit. there are no repeaters in the center reservation between rushington roundabout and the river test. bartram rd only has one 30 sign.

Southmpton City have only replaced one sign to my knowledge and the road is completly un-enforcable still.

The cameras do not appear to be loaded.

the press appear to have lost interest with this fiasco, I am not sure how to take this further.

humm OK can we find out how many convictions are pending ? They should be interested in one case being thrown out if many others are liable to be too as that has a public interest at heart ... ?

The case we are refering to was detected by a traffic car. The 5 speed cameras appear to be suspended since jan last year.

with the highways authorities to identify signing issues and help resolve
them. The expert also assists with the preparation of court files and give
evidence at court as necessary.

He/She hasn't prevented/rectified Millbrook rd fiasco.
