Not for the first time, the matrix signs on the motorway today weren't just wrong, they were dangerously wrong, making them worse than useless.
Passed the first one saying 60 queue ahead - slow down even though can't see the queue. Next sign says 40 queue ahead, still no sign of a problem, so didn't slow to 40 (as no-one else was). Next sign - "end" - everyone speeds up (not unreasonably) - then pass a blank matrix sign and, about half a mile beyond it, a sea of brake lights.
What a total waste of cash and effort these signs are.
