Why Aren't NSL Signs Used in Urban Areas?

I have always wondered about this. The Highway code states that there is a national speed limit for urban areas, single carriageways, dual carriageways and motorways. NSL signs are used on the previous 3 types of road, but 30 signs are always used for urban areas. Since there is a national speed limit for urban areas, why are national speed limit signs not used for entering urban areas? As an example, if you enter a 50 limit, continue onto an NSL single carriageway, enter a village (with the NSL of 30) and exit onto an NSL single carriageway, the signs that you see could be 50 then a single NSL sign (to cover the national speed limits of the single carriageways and urban area)?

It might be a bit confusing but going by what the highway code says it could and should be possible?
