Birmingham aren't the only ones spending heavily on GATSOs. 

The A5 between Cannock and the M42 Junction near Tamworth has sprouted
them all over the place!

The ones to watch are in Hints, about 1 mile before the Tamworth by-pass
starts (travelling east). This is a much ignored 40mph limit, and
there's a camera at the beginning of the restricted area in each
direction. It looked like they were wiring them up last Tuesday, so
they'll probably be in operation by now!

Let's be careful out there,

Rob
