If they have increased the spacing, you might want to check that it is

still no more than 183 metres. If the spacing is greater than that, it

makes a 30mph speed limit unenforceable, unless they fit repeater signs

along the road.

I thought that idea had been done away with, no ?

It was eliminated in the Republic of Ireland, and at the same time the placement of speed limits into the hands of brain dead morons at the beck and call of local idiots. It is utterly arcane. Varying speed limits with no indication whatsoever of what limit is in operation in a particular area apart from the initial signs.
