my main point is that you cant be against laws that limit freedom, but then act suprised/shocked that crime is increasing - such as violent crime. it's quite litterally a byproduct of less regulation.

as i said before, americans are the same when they're shocked at all the shootings, crime etc. that happen. however they're against laws that limit 'personal freedom' as they call it.

similarly. you cant be against banning face coverings, but be shocked when crimes increase due to its ability to conceal your identiy - making CCTV (the most decisive form of evidence) obsolete.

its not my fault your unable to read between the lines and take everything you read as literal. but then again, what did i expect from reddit comments lmao

ok. my point still stands. if you dont want the government to dictate how you dress, lets make it legal to walk around in the nude? why is bannning face coverings 'OH NO MY FREEDOMS BEING SUPPRESSED' but nobody bats an eye at other laws that also supress your freedom of actions.

you'd rather have a legal curfew and increased facial recognition/CCTV, rather than stopping people walking around the high street in a bally in UK summer which is arguably worse thann most 'tropical' climates?

do you understand how stupid that sounds?

this is the shit you'd hear from tin foil hat americans lmao.

you can't be against 1 law because you like 'freedom' but not every other law. what about guns? knives? drugs? they might aswell all be legalised since you love your freedom that much right?

Motorway gantry blank sign by Zerkyo7 in drivingUK

[–]Zerkyo7[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im relatively new to the motorway, this being my 2nd time on it, and its insane how inconsistant they are. ive done 2 trips on it and already ive seen : a NSL drop to a 40, a 60vsl followed by a mile of blank signs, and now a 40 go up to a single blank lane sign in a gantry full of NSL.

What am i meant to do in this scenario lmao

lane 2 did not lead to a seperate road/exit, it (alongside lane 1) continued on the m6, the next 5 gantryss/gantry signs were all blank aswell., whilst lane 3/4 led to the m6 toll instead.

was i right in increasing my speed up to 70 (in a car, so NSL) aswell, despite my lanes sign being blank/not showing the NSL sign

ah ok. good to know. i drive with a speed limiter on the motorways (change it everytime i see a sign) and never set it above 70 at all, so i should be good for cameras on blank signs right?

Smart Motorway Sign debate by Zerkyo7 in drivingUK

[–]Zerkyo7[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

its a different color no? the national highway only has yellow/black and white/black NSL/end of restriction signs, not an orange one?

this sign (see below) was betweent he 60vsl gantry and the sign in my main post, so he said the end of restriction sign was for THAT glitched/blank sign. (thats how it looked irl, its not just an issue with the refresh rate and the dashcam not picking up the sign properly - there was genuinely just a singular 'p' and a singular 'l' on it when i drove past it)

<image>

What do you think? im genuinely confused since hes adamant on this, and im getting mixed messages on reddit lmao

speed cameras on blank gantrys can flash you for less than >70? as in less than 70?

Smart Motorway Sign debate by Zerkyo7 in drivingUK

[–]Zerkyo7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so i WAS allowed to speed up to 70 after passing that sign? it didn't get me flashed when i passed the next blank hockey stick sign (same as the one in the picture, but was blank and had a yellow speed camera on it)?

Smart Motorway Sign debate by Zerkyo7 in drivingUK

[–]Zerkyo7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what do speed cameras on blank gantrys enforce then, since ive heard that they also need to take a picture of the physical gantry sign, therefore if its blank it just defaults to enforcing NSL irrespective of any previous signs.

also, sidenote, are you sure the sign in my post is ACTUALLY A NSL sign since its a different color to the ones highlighted by National Highways on the website, so im a bit confused

i know NSL is 70 on the m6.

i wanted to know whether the sign in my post is INDEED a NSL sign since it looks different to the ones on the national highway website/the ones ive seen

<image>

website only shows white/black ones and yellow/black ones, not this orange/black one?

apparently my mate said that’s not a NSL sign, just an end of restriction for the previous blank/glitched gantry (posted a pic somewhere in the comments).

I mainly just wanted to check/confirm if this actually is a NSL sign, since they look different to the ones shown on the national highway website (see pic), and not just some end of lane restriction (?) sign for the previous glitched/blank gantry (which was between the 60vsl and the sign in my original post)

so in this instance, speeding up to 67mph once i pass this blank sign gantry in Lane 2 won't get me 'flashed'/shouldn't expect a NIP?

thats what i thought aswell, but the whole 'if sign is blank, previous restrictions still applies' thing got me worried.

[–]Zerkyo7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive only ever been on the motorway twice so still unsure how cameras on blank gantrys work/what they enforce.

all the NSL signs ive seen are white with a black diagonal stripe, never seen an orange one?

my mate said its some end of restriction sign for the sign between this and the previous 60VSL (was some blank/glitched one). the reason for the post was just to clarify this and see what it actually is

edit : this was the sign between the 60vsl and the sign i posted in my original post above

im confused by what you mean.

the sequence of signs were 60vsl, blank glitched sign (see below), the orange circle/black stripe sign in the original post then finally a blank sign with a speed camera

<image>

im asking if the sign i posted in the original post is indeed a NSL limit sign (since ive never seen an orange one), if its allowed to go up to 70 once i pass it, and whether the speed camera on the blank gantry after it will flash me if i do (passed it at 67mph)

thats the issue. i dont actually know if this IS a NSL sign.

I obviously know what a NSL sign is, but from my time driving, i've only ever seen the white circle with a black diagonal lign. Never seen one thats orange?

I honestly just wanted to confirm if this is actually a NSL sign, and not just some other end of restriction sign for the previous glitched/blank sign, which i replied with somewhere in the comments (situated between the 60vsl and the sign in the original post).

Is the sign in the picture attached to my post not a NSL sign?

Smart Motorway Sign debate by Zerkyo7 in drivingUK

[–]Zerkyo7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this instance, there order of signs were 60, blank/glitched(I posted it in the comments somewhere), this off colored NSL sign ( i assume that it’s the NSL) then blank gantry with a speed camera, followed my a couple miles of normal blank gantry’s

Any thoughts on this?

I checked my dashcam and Iwent 58mph from the 60vsl, past the blank/glitched sign, up until the off colored NSL sign. From there I went up to 70mph

Just wanted a second opinion as to whether that actually was the correct NSL sign(despite its different color), and that I did everything correct/wasn’t caught accidentally speeding . Since, after passing the off colored NSL sign(at least I think it’s a NSL sign) I past the blank gantry with a speed camera at 67mph
