YOU might not, but the rest of us do. Try looking slightly further

If there's no regular repeater signs, it's NSL or 30, depending on streetlights.

I'm not sure it's quite as easy as that, Adrian.

In what way is it not quite that easy?

It seems highly likely that the mass of normal drivers, i.e. less interested in driving than we are, will have some trouble over this.

Yes, well... The mass of "normal" drivers have difficulty in looking beyond the back of the car immediately in front. So how far SHOULD we dumb down?

Oh I'm not in favour of dumbing down, quite the reverse in fact, but I think it would be helpful to have speed limits more consistently and clearly marked - and not so many changes over short distances.

Best wishes all,
Dave.
