I was driving on unfamiliar roads earlier and cleared the brow of a hill to find a speed van parked up in a lay by.

However, it was unclear to me at the time, what the actual limit was, as the earlier stretch of the road that I was on was a 50 limit, and didn't recall seeing any signs signalling a change in speed zone.

I thought I learnt during my theory, that the entry to a zone with a new limit is signified by TWO signs on either side of the road...

Sure enough when I have travelled back along the route, I've found that there is only a single sign showing the change in limits which is positioned on the opposite side of the road. The next repeater sign was roughly 100 yards further on, but literally 10 yards in front of where the van was parked. Effectively meaning you'd see the repeater at the same time as the van. In my panic, I saw the van and not the repeater.

The road can be seen on Google maps below. I was travelling on Syday Lane (50mph) - The Avenue (30mph) - Station Road

You can also see in the Google maps link that the left hand side of the road entry to the speed zone is missing still.

I'm clutching at straws, but I don't generally speed, and am more so annoyed with the fact that I'm potentially going to get penalised because of badly signed zones.

The images below show the direction in which I was travelling, with areas highlighted.





This image, shows entry into the Zone from the other direction.





Thoughts?

I agree, in fact I didn't think it would even need to be debated. Subjective would be pointless, outside of extraordinary circumstances.
