We've had two sets of specs on the A90 between Perth and Dundee for over 6 months now. They are sited where new interchanges are being installed, however the roadworks are about 600 yards long but the specs are 1 1/4 miles apart!
It is very frustrating driving through these at 40 mph at the best of times but especially at night or weekends when there is no work being carried out, and no other traffic on the roads.
Incidentally we had the same debate about changing lanes and apparently it isn't true.
One thing I read however, and I don't know if it is true or not, is any speed restriction sign at the beginning of the zone must be illuminated at night and not just rely on the reflection of headlamps. I do not know if this applies to temporary speed limits or not.
Also regarding the use of average speed cameras, warning signs should be displayed warning that they are in use.
