Version 2. If there is a pavement and lots of buildings alongside the road and you *don't* see a white circular sign with a red border with a number in the middle what is the maximum speed you can drive at? a) I'm supposed to look at the road so I can't see what's alongside b) if I go below 30mph my willy will drop off c) my car can be abandoned anywhere I want d) anybody not using a car must be hooted at e) it's soooo unfair |

It depends on whether there are streetlights or not. That may be the strict definition but in practice no streetlamps and no signs in a built up area is an unlikely combination. Besides, it is not possible to go wrong to assume a built up area is 30mph until informed that you are allowed to go faster. |

The whole thing is a bit of an arse at the moment. |
