Dear Smith, Clive (Calder Park),

Please could you confirm if M1-4434A J30-J31 Northbound was the first display of the 50mph variable speed limit, or was it displayed before this?

Yours sincerely,

Mark Jackson

Smith, Clive (Calder Park),

Dear Mr Jackson.
Please be advised the sign 4434a was the first sign set with the temporary 50mph speed limit, however there were further consecutive signs set on the northbound towards Junction 31 all of which were set at 50mph for the same incident.
Kind Regards
