It was on the news last week. Apparently the signage in the temporary limit didn't obey the guidelines so somebody challenged their ticket and the authorities have decided to do the decent thing and inform all the other people affected. If you have suffered any knock on effects, such as loss of license, increased insurance premiums, etc... then you would apparently have a good case for compensation over and above the return of the fine and removal of the endorsement. Apparently this sort of thing happens quite frequently but the authorities don't usually own up unless challenged and then don't publicise it to any others affected.
