In January 2005, I made the Road Traffic (Speed Limit — Traffic Signs) Regulations 2005, SI 10 of 2005, prescribing the regulatory traffic signs displaying metric units of measurement, namely km/h, that the road authorities must provide on public roads to indicate the speed limit in force. This range of traffic signs can be deployed to indicate that a default speed limit, a special speed limit including the use of a periodic speed limit or a road works speed limit is in force.

On 30 November 2005, I made further regulations, the Road Traffic (Traffic Signs — Periodic Special Speed Limits) Regulations 2005, SI 756 of 2005, to provide an alternative format of a speed limit traffic sign, which may be deployed to indicate that a periodic special speed limit under section 9(5) of the Road Traffic Act 2004 is applied.
