Does anyone know what the increasingly common red paint with cross hatching that is appearing on many roads means?
I'd always assumed it was illegal to drive through these areas, but just reading on the www.speedlimit.org.uk site has made me reconsider.
And did anyone prove conclusively if the flashing motorway matrix speed limit signs were compulsory?

If the hatching is bordered by a solid white line then it is illegal to cross or straddle any part of that line, except in cases where one needs to pass a specified type of vehicle travelling at no more than 10mph, such as a road roller. Where the hatched area is bordered by a broken line you may cross this if it is safe to do so. The red paint is merely to emphasise the hatched area.
