The cul de sac I live on is technically a 40 because the main road it attaches to is a 40 and there's no sign to say anything different. But as it has lamposts, is it really a 30? But then the main road also has lamposts, and doesn't have 40 signs every few yards. So how are you meant to know the difference between a 40mph road with lamposts and a 30 mph road with lamposts with a sign missing?
In Buckingham they've been switching off street lighting as an "experiment". Does that mean that the speed limit being 30 because of lamposts doesn't apply at night because you can't see the lamposts? Or does it not apply at any time because the lampposts don't have lamps that work? Is a lamppost a lamppost if it doesn't light up, or is it just a post?

Hmmm.
If you are driving through lamposts and you see signs on them, you know its not 30, so you can put your foot down. When you can read the signs, you know if its a 40 or a 50.
If you are driving through lamposts and you see a junction, and the junction is marked 30, you can put your foot down because you must be in a 40 or 50.
until then, its a 30

If it's a built up area and I can't see any signs I just assume it's 30 untill I see something that says otherwise."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment
