Overview
- Gloucestershire Police report more than 13,000 prosecutions since November for speeding through A417 Missing Link works monitored by average‑speed cameras installed in 2024.
- Two enforced 40mph sections are in place between the Highwayman Inn/Elkstone junction and Nettleton Bottom, and from the A46 to the Air Balloon roundabout.
- Offenders face a £100 fine and three licence points, with officials warning that continued non‑compliance could lead to serious injury or death to roadworkers.
- National Highways urges drivers to slow down, saying compliance improves safety and keeps traffic flowing with minimal impact on travel times.
- The £460m scheme will add roughly four miles of new dual carriageway, with the route expected to open to traffic in spring 2027.
