can anyone tell me if there are any rules stating how often the small repeater 30mph signs are placed :?: These are on rural roads after the two large signs on country lanes without any lighting.

But the ABD site shows some guideline(?) figures too.

I've just measured the distance between signs and it is 700mts which is 450 more then the regulation. my son failed his driving test for going up to 40 along this stretch of road. It didnt help that he missed the first repeater sign in the road while talking to the examiner! this means there was almost 3/4 mile betweeen the start of the 30 mph and where the examiner told him to slow down. :oops:
