So, as there is a footpath heading out of Accy, it translates at 60 mph, ok better than 70 then, however, does it also mean on both sides of the carriageway you are travelling ???? which if so, can do 70 mph driving to Accy, which has no footpath.

Neil, thought this for a while, put up the sign the limit should be ... not the white with black line for national speed limit.... which would refer you back to the national speed limit to within the boundaries of the rules for dual carriageways, as as it has been pointed out to us. Hek !! need some brain unscrambling here.
