I know it’s not particularly new but I’m having to do more driving through it as of late, Jesus, it’s bloody painful. :x
 
Have they given out any fines ? They hadn't up here.
Someone did post a letter they'd received recently on twitter.

I don’t know if the ones in Port Talbot are working now but they admitted recently that they haven’t been switched on for a couple of years.
 
Another strange decision for me is that it returns to 70mph right before the Llandarcy junction, which can be chaos (especially Westbound), they had the opportunity to make that a much safer area by extending this daft 50mph zone by another couple of hundred metres.
 
All they need to do is close a couple of ramps to/from the M4 and return the speed limit to 70. The good people of Port Toilet are adequately served by access roads at either end, and let’s not pretend it’s about pollution - that theory has been debunked for aeons.
