I had a speed awareness course a few years back, and the level of knowledge amongst the others on the course was scary.
For example more than one person thought that the national speed limit on a motorway was 50mph ____________________ I am a bellend, I am a man of constant sorrow, I am a gummy bear, I am a rock. |

I'd actually say look for signs as a more reliable indicator. GPS can be out of date.
There are plenty of roads that should be 40 or 50 but aren't.
There are some roads in Trafford park. All of them two lane separated dual carriageways without street lights.
So you'd think 40? Or 50? Nope it's a 30mph zone. The rest of the area is a 40. There is a very small sign half way into a bush on the exit to the round about junction entering this bit.
There is always a camera van parked behind a large bush using a periscope camera too. ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.

I think you should take the two stroke out more then, and not worry about missing signs with 100 horses under you that your trying to keep reigned in.
To OP, what's your thoughts on single carriageway 50mph limits? I.e. What purpose do they serve and why are they there, when road designers and local councils could have chosen to peg them as 40 or 60mph roads instead?
Personally I ignore 50 limits, except for dual carriageways with cameras etc. I see no point in 50's and see them as a nothing speed really. Especially as alot of rural 50mph bits of road are re-graded NSL roads changed in the last 10years.
I'd love to have Rogerborg access to accurate statistics to see just how much safer these 50mph routes are now, and how many accidents and lives have been saved by them? |

I do know of a few 20mph areas where there is only a sign as you enter it (although at one entry point, someone has twisted the signs round on the posts so they're wrong)
There is a car hire company's depot there, not far from the station so it's possible to get off a train, walk to collect a hire car and get done for speeding as you've no way of knowing that it's not a 30mph zone
The car hire company has obviously got fed up of this, as you exit their gate there are no less than 6 signs saying "20 zone" including one that tells you that police camera vans are in the area. ____________________ Looking to pass your CBT / Bike tests in Bury Lancashire? try www.focusridertraining.co.uk Would recommend.
