You know, looks like a maximum sign but is blue, with the min speed marked in the middle?

They are rare, I think I've seen one in the mersey tunnel, as listed above.

I haven't noticed them abroad though...........although I don't understand most signs abroad, the buggars use wierd groups of letters !

Aye, furriners! They keep putting the letters in the wrong order. wink

Best wishes all,

I seem to remember from my bike instructor days that the minimum speed limit on the motorway was 30 mph according to the Highway Code,but have yet ever to see a sign .........pretty scary thought though 30 mph in the middle lane unless i have just lighted the blue touch paper for MLH .

Funny how memory plays tricks on us isn't it?
There is no minimum speed limit on our motorways...however if you go as slow as this person http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/7171154...
you can expect not to be flavour of the month in anyone's book...including BiB.

I recall seeing one for 30mph on the A30 in deepest Cornwall around 15 years ago but that was the first, last and only time I've ever seen one.
