Average speed cameras appear on County Durham A1(M) - when they'll be turned on
Drivers will need to watch their speedos after cameras appeared at the side of the A1(M) in County Durham. But the average speed cameras are yet to be turned on, and are being installed ahead of roadworks planned for later this year. Motorists reported yellow poles, some mounted with cameras, went up this week along the northbound side of the motorway between Junctions 61 at Bowburn and 62 at Durham, but signs confirm they are not currently in use. It comes as resurfacing works are carried out with the hard shoulder closed and a 50mph limit currently in place towards northbound. A National Highways spokesperson confirmed: 'The speed enforcement cameras are being installed for a follow-on scheme that begins immediately after the completion of the resurfacing scheme. 'Installing them now, while traffic management measures are already in place, saves us having to close the carriageway again in the future to install them.'

The restrictions will be in place for six months until the end of March 2026, it is expected, while the barrier in the central reservation between Junction 61 at Bowburn and Junction 62 Carville is replaced. The work will see traffic moved into the hard shoulder and lane one with the outside lane closed to allow for the works.
