The street lights are the indication. Anything other than 30mph in a

And you would not believe how many people I know that have been on a speed
awarness course now seems to think that there is a 30MPH speed limit
wherever there are streetlights!

BTW is it not the streetlights that define "built up" and not the presence
of any houses?


In law, the correct term is a restricted road and, as you say, it is the
provision of a 'system of street lighting' at the specified spacing that
makes it a restricted road. A system of street lighting is deemed to be
three or more lights.
