Overview

• Gloucestershire Police report more than 13,000 drivers have been prosecuted for speeding through the Missing Link works since enforcement began in November.
• Average speed cameras monitor two temporary 40mph stretches between the Highwayman Inn/Elkstone junction and Nettleton Bottom and on Crickley Hill from the A46 to the Air Balloon roundabout.
• Offending motorists face a £100 fixed penalty and three licence points under the temporary restrictions.
• National Highways warns that speeding through the site endangers staff and urges drivers to slow down.
• The £460 million scheme will deliver four miles of new dual carriageway, with opening to traffic planned for spring 2027, and complying with the limit typically adds less than a minute to journeys.
