AFAIK the Traffic Signs Manual Chapter 3 is still current.
It suggests otherwise as far as the OP's question is concerned
See Figure 14-10 page 111 - https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploa...

In the interest of balance, I should also point out that it is possible for it to be varied, but only with specific permission.
If the relevant traffic authority has omitted to seek it (not unknown!) it's non compliant.

TSM Chapter 3 page 9 Paragraph 2.1 said:
There could be circumstances where it might be appropriate to use prescribed signs in a manner that is not strictly in accordance with the Directions. In such cases, a special direction (not an authorisation), given in writing, should be sought from the Department
Thanks for the pointer. It's here - https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploa...
The relevant bit is paragraph 13.2 on page 47. It implies that the permission of the Secretary of State is no longer required.
The traffic authority still has to have a cogent reason for departing from the Chapter 3 guidance though. Saving money alone won't do.

Any decision to reduce the number of terminal signs should be underpinned by robust risk analysis.
So going from a higher to lower limit, one would generally expect there to be 2 terminal signs. When the limit is increasing then one sign will always be sufficient because there is no increased risk in missing the sign speedking31 said:
