Abstract
The 1994 Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions simplified the requirements for the placement of terminal and repeater signs used to indicate a speed limit, and introduced some new prescribed sizes. The intention was to give greater flexibility in the placement of signs. This would overcome the situation where signs placed marginally too far apart have had the effect of making the limit enforceable. The 1994 Regulations thus specify simply that signs should be placed at regular intervals. This leaflet sets out good practice on the placing of signs. It supersedes previous advice, and should be borne in mind when reviewing old signing arrangements. It is not retrospective. (A)
