Ford Transit - National spped limit vs regulatory speed limit - Class_one

There is a single carriageway road near me which has national speed restriction signage at the start of it. However, a few miles down the road it changes to a regulatory red-ringed 60 sign. Does this mean that once I've passed the 60 sign I can drive at 60 in my transit van where I'd normally be restricted to 50 where the 'nationals' applied??

No. But what weight was the Van.

Built up area (Lit) 30 30 30
Single carriageway 60 50 40
Dual carriageway 70 60 50
Motorway 70 70 60

A single carraigeway NSL is 60

Peter, it's a standard transit van which has a MGW of around 3.5T which means the NSL on a single carriageway is 50 as with all vans over 2T. Only car-derived vans under 2T can do 60 in the NSL like cars.
