It's not the slip between the M25 anti clockwise and the NB M11 is it?

No yam yam territory (Black Country-ish)

General area Scraghetti junc for want of a more precise explanation.

Oops, I must have missed a speed-limit sign in the past then!

Are we talking M6/A38(M) junction? And which way?
Or M6/M5 junction? And again, which way?

Because I've not seen a 20 on either of them, and used to do them lots when I worked in B'ham centre and had clients in/near Dudley.

Where I am talking about is heading off M6 J6(S) to go north up the Tyburn Road. On the M6(S)-A38(M) spur there is a motorway split, right goes onto A38(M) towards Brum centre, left which itself is still subject motorway regs, goes left and drops down. Just out of sight round the left were the 20 limit signs. There were no warning signs of a lower limit.

I'll have a look and see if its still there, but must be at least a year ago now when I first saw it. I think there are more general limits around there now as the works have dragged on? Try and avoid this area tbh.

However you perhaps see why I said "technically" it's a 70 limit but only a muppet would not already have pegged it back from 70.

Ah. There. Haven't done that for a few years. I'm assuming it's not some temporary limit they put in for the ongoing roadworks? But does seem rather silly.

(Have you heard they're closing J6 (northbound at least) until November!!! It's gonna cause chaos on the Heartlands spine...absolute joke of the first order, you've gotta have well over 50 cars/minute using that slip road at rush hour...with only three alternative routes: A38 from J5; Heartlands Spine from J5; M42/A45...all of which are jammed solid already!!!)
