NEAR ENOUGH IS GOOD ENOUGH YOU HAVE TO RESET IT TWICE A YEAR
ANYWAY

Having slightly fast is usually not an issue if you need to get
somewhere at a particular time.

Our schools have time of day based speed limits.

That can bite you with those.

Are the speed limits signposted (eg an electronic sign whose numbers
change at different times of day), or does "everybody just know"
what/when the speed limits are?

Variable speed limits according to time of day outside a school is a very
good idea: it saves the UK convention of setting a speed limit which is
absurdly low for most of the day or night, except for the critical hours
when schools are coming or going.

I think you will find such variable limits in Scotland
