are not prosecuted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 50mph speed cameras between junctions 24 and 28 in Newport have been operational since last year in one of the UK&#8217;s busiest traffic areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prosecution warnings were supposed to be sent out in the area where a relief road was formerly planned last summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cameras are operational, but &#8220;resource constraints&#8221; prevent prosecution notices from being issued, according to the Welsh government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has now decided to discontinue providing advice letters to drivers and &#8220;completely enforce&#8221; new 50mph limits on all other highways where they are in effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between the Wales\/England border and St David&#8217;s is the A494.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wrexham&#8217;s A483 between junctions 5 and 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The A470 connects Upper Boat and Pontypridd in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The M4 between Port Talbot junctions 41 and 42.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a Welsh government spokeswoman, &#8220;Advisory notices were introduced as an interim measure while the new environmental 50mph speed limit was implemented.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;These notices will be removed with immediate effect in all regions, and full enforcement will be carried out as necessary.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the recommendation of the commission formed in the aftermath of First Minister Mark Drakeford&#8217;s controversial decision to scrap the relief road, the average speed limit of 50mph was implemented to alleviate congestion on the M4 around Newport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the commission&#8217;s assessment, the M4 at Newport was the fourth most congested section of urban freeway in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drivers caught exceeding the speed limit on 50mph speed cameras on the M4 are
