Fellrunning Apr 2016 9:32pm, 18 Apr 2016 1,634 posts	0 Fellrunning I believe its 50m apart. In urban areas, where there are street lights, the limit is 30mph unless otherwise posted.
mblnFERCr Apr 2016 10:37am, 19 Apr 2016 787 posts	0 mblnFERCr I know on our street (residential 30 limit) they are more than 100 yards apart, but it's quite random. The next street over they are more like 50 yards. It gets quite dark
Badger Apr 2016 10:59am, 19 Apr 2016 7,263 posts	0 Badger The combination of mblnFERCr and Fellrunning's posts is that legally if they are spaced less than 200 yards apart, the speed limit is 30mph (so in motorway areas where there are lights, like around complicated junctions, you'll see 'national speed limit applies' signs attached to the posts). But you might find they are much closer together than that, especially on roads with a lot of bends.
