Speeding question
Discussion

Is the dual carriageway sign not an indication of the speed limit at the exit of the club?
No. I was told on a speed awareness course that to be safe from prosecution I should assume any road I turned onto which did not have a visible speed limit or NSL sign was a 30 limit until I saw such a sign. (not sure how this would help in a 20 zone but I guess there'd almost certainly be signs).

No, it's not. It's an indication that 2 directions of traffic are seperated by a dividing feature.
A NSL sign and a central divider would indicate it was a 70 mph dual carriageway.
Would you consider it the responsibility of the highways agencies to provide signage at every private entrance to a carriageway or do you perhaps think that responsibility should sit with the institution?
You would not get a NSL road sign on a road such as this as there are no streetlights. A road is NSL in the absence of speedlimits to the contrary on unlit dual carriage ways. A NSL sign and a central divider would indicate it was a 70 mph dual carriageway.

If the golf club access is treated as a road, there should be a repeater joining traffic within 100m.

I think the issue here is that the highway design does not treat it as a road, which creates the problem the op has spotted. I have no idea if it enforceable.
Bigger question really is why any of it should be at 50mph. I bet that is not the 85th percentile.

Should all entrances from private business premises be treated as "roads"? And if so, why not residential, too?I think the issue here is that the highway design does not treat it as a road

O/t, but what are those white boxes painted on the dual carriageway just by the slip road into the golf course? I think there are normally a second set further down the road, but cannot easily navigate the map on this small screen.
Is it to do with the police calculating speed between points? Sorry if this is obvious.
Yep, used to check speed using Vascar / ProVida etcIs it to do with the police calculating speed between points? Sorry if this is obvious.
