Average speed cameras are going live in the A38 Saltash Tunnel.

The new 30mph limit is enforced on the route between Cornwall and Devon.

The 35-year-old A38 tunnel has undergone £20 million ‘generational’ refurbishment, involving an upgrade of the Tunnel & Traffic Control System, electrical distribution, lighting, fans and electronic signage.

As part of a commitment to safety and air quality, National Highways has reduced the speed limit on the A38 between the Saltash Tunnel and Carkeel roundabout.

The speed restriction was lowered from 70mph to 50mph, with average speed cameras being installed to enforce the 30mph limit through the tunnel and on the B3271 and North Road diversion routes.
