DRIVERS on stretches of two of Britain’s busiest motorways face being caught speeding on cameras that permanently on.
Here’s what you need to know about the speed cameras on the M1 and M25 as well as what’s happening with smart motorways.
Are speed cameras on the M1 and M25 permanently switched on and will I get fined?
Motorists will be issued with fines for breaking the 70mph limit on sections of the M1 – even if there’s no variable limit displayed on an overhead gantry.
Cameras are switched on 24/7 but were thought to only snap drivers who were caught breaking a limit that’s flashed up on the signs.
But, according to The Derby Telegraph, drivers who go over 70mph some of the smart motorway sections of the M1 when the roads are clear could also be caught.
A smart motorway is a section of a motorway in Britain that uses technology to manage the flow of traffic during busy times.
Operators can vary the speed limit – with lit signs on overhead gantries – with the aim of reducing the frustrating stop-start driving conditions that often occur on normal roads.
The M1 is just one of a number of stretches being converted into smart motorways alongside the M6, M25, M3, M20 and M5.
New cameras are now in operation on the stretch of motorway near East Midlands Airport.
The section of the M1 between junctions 23a (Nottingham/East midlands Airport) and 24 (Derby) now has four lanes and a hard shoulder and will use variable speed limits.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
