The Welsh Government has set a date for the 50mph speed limit that will be implemented on the M4. From Thursday, November 17, motorists exceeding the 50mph speed limits between junctions 24 and 28 on the M4 could be fined.
The cameras were put in place more than a year ago as part of plans for 50mph speed limits at five locations across Wales to reduce air pollution in built up areas around the busy roads. The cameras in Newport have been active but not issuing fines while IT issues were revolved.
The locations for reduced speed limits to 50mph are on the A494 between the Wales/England border and St David’s Interchange Deeside, the A483 between junctions 5 and 6 Wrexham, M4 between junctions 41 and 42 Port Talbot, M4 between junctions 25 and 26 Newport, and A470 between Upper Boat and Pontypridd.
