Don't forget though, if worse comes to worse, if you contest it, ask for it to goto court. If you're still found guilty you will have court fees to pay, as well as solicitors fees.
I had a similar situation near Stockport on the motorway with road works.
I thought, that there was no signs there!! Went back the next morning (less than 12 hours) and there was loads of signs everywhere. I just wasn't paying attention, everybody I mentioned it to, said they'd been there for ages. Luckily nothing came through.
But, if you get away with it, think of it as a wake up call. You lose more than your license if you get banned, job, social, lots, it's something worth thinking about
