Request Title

FOI 15291 Speeding on M25 Northbound

Date Range

n/a

Information Requested

How many speeding tickets have been given out as a result of the speed cameras on the M25 northbound being kept on, when there is no speeding limit in the box? The past 6 months will suffice, if that is too much I’m happy for the timeframe to be reduced. When I ask when there is no speeding limit set in the variable speeding box. I mean when there is no reduction to the speed on the motorway set by the variable speed box/indicators - so when there is no variable speed set on the motorway.

Disclosure with Exemptions
