The national speed limit sign only means 60 or 70 depending if its a dual carriageway. Its surprising how many people think a dual carriage way has to have 2 lanes each way but you can get dual carriageways with one lane in each direction.

Here is a single lane dual carriage way with no street lights so the speed limit will be 70mph
