Although 70mph is the national motorway limit, smart motorways frequently impose temporary lower speed limits that motorists must obey. Variable speed cameras monitor these temporary limits on stretches of motorway such as the M6, particularly between junctions 7 and 8 near Great Barr and between the M54 slip road near Wolverhampton and junction 10 for Walsall.
