Isn’t the 40mph for the road on the right and the 30 is the road on the left?
3040 mph, any slower is a glassing
The North circular, it used to be as fast as possible back in my day 🤣
I’d go with 30. The 40 is a badly placed repeater sign for the main road on the right.
30mph on the slip road and 40mph on the main road.
If you really didn’t know this, hand your license back and go and retake your test.
35 mph
30.
10
General rule: If there’s any ambiguity, pick the lower limit.
30. The 40 is for the dual carriageway.
It’s always the sign on the Left. Slip roads have a maximum speed of 30 miles per hour anyway, unless otherwise indicated.
30, but they absolutely should disambiguate that signage. Time for you to write a letter, OP!
30
You could do 40 and probably successfully argue that the signage was ambiguous but is it worth potentially the court case proving it?
If you don’t know, you shouldn’t be driving.
A good rule of thumb is just to go the lower speed if you are unsure.
Here is a good video from the black belt barrister about a situation where someone had put up a fake 50 sign on a stretch of road. Drivers going 50 still got fined even after disputing it due to the fake signage.
Maybe zero as none of the cars in the picture are moving. /s
It’s actually very straightforward. The A41 up to that point is 40 as is indicated by all the repeater signs on the left that lead up to that slip road (there’s a lot of them if you’ve been following the road and paying attention), and the slip road is 30 with the continuation of the A41 remaining at 40, again shown by the repeater signs being on the left of each respective carriageway
Incidentally, there’s no law to say that repeater signs have to be in pairs on a multi-lane carriageway, so this is a perfectly normal way of showing the speed limit
30.
You need to get out your theodolite and measure which sign is further forward. That will be the first speed limit which applies for a few millimetres until the second sign which applies from then onwards.
30 if you’re on the pavement, 40 on the actual road.
Depends which road you go on
70
It’s 30, but if you got done for speed there I’m not sure it’s enforceable. The speed limit signs need to be on both sides of the road AFAIK
30
30 + 40 = 70
All these serious comments are not on your wavelength, OP!

30 ↖️
40 ⬆️
It’s very obviously 70 🤣😂.
If in doubt, play it safe. Stick with the 30
Depends which road you mean….
It’s clearly ✓(30²+40²)
Depends – are there any speed cameras about?
Maybe zero as none of the cars in the picture are moving. /s

Always go with the lower, easier on your wallet
It’s pretty obvious.
