This is the most ill-conceived idea for a long time. To ease congestion, the entire section around Newport is now 50mph – but, at quiet times, there is absolutely no need for it, and it is widely abused. You therefore end up with a mixture of slow and fast traffic moving between lanes. It is downright dangerous – either enforce it 100% with cameras, or remove it.
