Actually if there is a system of street lights in operation then the limit is 30mph unless otherwise signposted. 30mph limits do not require repeaters.

The road my mum lives on is now a 30mph limit after some of the newer residents kicked off (was a 40). Cars always do 40-50 even 60mph along there. The only accidents down there are people not paying attention to stopped cars. In fact the last accident had a guy writing to the paper complaining about speed after his daughter had an accident outside the house. Had the dappy bint not turned straight across the path of an oncoming car it wouldn't have happened
