………like in some of our lanes where they are perforated?

Nope. Get rid of them altogether. Stop providing drivers with the crutch of a number on a stick. It's almost never the safe maximum speed for a given section of road.

And yet 50mph limits are routinely indicated by a 50 even though trucks are subject to a 40 limit (and here in Scotland we have been putting 70 signs on motorways since the 1960s).
The purpose of road signs are to indicate the speed limit that applies to a road, not the speed that applies to a vehicle.

Oh there is...here in South Gloucestershire you can rely on previously fine NSLs being made 50

Indeed. I know the road that goes directly from Newbury to Wantage past Snelsmore Common is NSL while it's in Berkshire, but shortly after crossing the border, it goes down to 50, and suddenly goes back up to 60 for no palpable reason.

Yes I know that one. Oxfordshire and Berkshire seem to have quite different policies on speed limits (as well as road maintenance).
