Default Single carrigeway NSL

I find that when ever i am on a single carrigeway NSL road (car or bike) that there is always some one who is doing the wrong speed, this makes me wonder, how many people actually know the correct speed limit for a single carriage way NSL road.

So what i want to know is how many of you know what the speed limit is on the above mentioned, jsut to see, i know what it is and i hope you do too!

It is just something that bugs me that a sign with no number stating a speed on it makes people go ehh? and quess what the speed limit is.

Thanks

but it's a lot easier to change what it is without a lot of new signs being required

Public / general viewers cannot see who voted for what, don't know if admins can either.

Are they? I can think of many single carriageway NSL roads where doing the limit is downright dangerous. Just because someone is not travelling at the speed limit, does not make it the wrong speed. The limit is not a prescription of the speed you should do, merely of the maximum speed you can legally do.
