It has come to light the speed cameras, installed on gantries over the M62, are live at all times. Until this information was revealed, it was believed that they were only active when matrix signs were illuminated to indicate a reduced speed limit.
The news came to light in an exchange between a motorist and West Yorkshire Police via Twitter when they queried being flashed by gantry cameras when the speed limit signs were off.
It has since been clarified that the cameras, managed by the Highways Agency, are capable of enforcing both variable speed limits and the national speed limit and can operate independently of the matrix speed signs.
