Hi All dose anyone know if on the M1 the speed cams are in any way in sink-row with the electric notice boards ie if the boards say 40mph do the cams
work at 40 mph
i don't mean the average speed cameras
Jacko
I can't speak for the ones on the M1, but the ones on the M25 near to the M4 junction certainly do!
Im think they arent, you mean the electronic bits say 40mph around the roadworks etc..?
Unless its long term roadworks when its a 40mph and 50mph, then they would have changed the speed cameras to those speeds..
But im not 100% certain, dont risk it with my word!

I came along the m1 on sunday electric board says 40mph about 50 - 100mts there a speed cam i hope i am ok
It would depend on whether or not the speed boards were advisory or mandatory.
The ones on the M25 are variable but mandatory, indicated by them being within a red circle. In this case the cameras follow the change in limit.
I think the ones on the M1 are advisory so the cameras would not be adjusted to suit.

I don't no if it had a red circle or not i was too busy hitting the brakes to look for red circles

And there's the rub isn't it. The guy following you runs up yours arse and hey presto the "SAFETY CAMERA" theory goes bang out the window. Not getting at you mate I hope you get away with it. Nearly got done my self this weekend on a gatso that's been covered for a couple of years. Only now it's not
you'll be fine jacko. 
As said before unless the number is in a red circle it's not enforcible. And I also believe no digital signs are either unless there is also a fixed sign next to them. So if you do get a fine argue the toss out of it.
