Speed Limit Signs and Repeaters

[mattt]

Is there actually a requirement for repeater signs in a 30 limit, on a road through an industrial area(which feels like it should be a 40 imo), i drove along this road then others unsure if it was a 30 or 40(i did 30) for about two miles.

If there are street lights the limit is 30mph, no signs required, unless signs state otherwise. These signs would start with a large sign at the start of the limit followed by repeaters, not sure of the legal requirement for spacing though.

theres very few street lights if any for about half a mile

It doesn't matter how few there are, if there's even only one or two it's the national limit if signs don't dictate otherwise.

thats why I did 30, as i was told that whilst learning and never found any roads to see this.

I think there should be a minimum distance for repeater spaced apart

This makes it even more confusing
