Road Signs and Markings: Speed Limits
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will update guidance to allow 30mph speed limit repeater signs on roads with street lighting.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Department has no plans to update legislation to allow 30mph speed limit repeater signs on roads with street lighting. Repeater signing is not used on street lit roads subject to a 30mph speed limit because the lamp columns act as the repeaters. Guidance is provided in rule 124 of the Highway Code. This has been law for over 70 years and all drivers are required to learn this in order to pass their driving test.
