Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: Motorway red X sign came live 0.35s before I passed it.

And also I acknowledge that I may have misinterpreted the time on the image, although to me as it happened so fast it  probably wasn’t far off that time.

Yes I have contacted national highways and are awaiting response to activated time of the red x, although lady on phone did confirm that the smart sign in question was the start of the warning of lane closure, and yes there were many vehicles infront and behind. You would assume common sense would prevail in this case, I’m sure I’m not the first nor will I be the last to fall foul of this given that the gantry is meters before the turn off for the m60. And ppl wishing to leave the motorway would have already been in the inside lane.

So basically 1-2s prior to that picture there was no red x on that lane.

I received a NIP from Manchester police regarding a lance closure on the m62 which it alleged I drove through, they have pictures of me passing the red x sign, what the pictures don’t show however is that the smart motorway gantry is almost exactly at the junction to Turn off to access m60, the red X activated literally as I was driving past it as the time says on the ticket was 0.35s with 5 cars infront and 3 behind travelling at 30 mph in the left lane indicating to leave the motorway, which I did and have a full journey log to prove this, is this unfair because to me it seem ridiculous to be charged for this when I was already leaving the lane with the x and the time from the very first x was exactly the time of me passing the gantry, there were no other warnings of any sort that there was a lane closure. Any advise would be great thank you. Also I side note, this happened at junction 18, and the ticket showed that the cause of the red x was at junction 20.
