If the hazardous conditions extend over a considerable length, the signs may need to be repeated at regular intervals which should not exceed 500 m. Advisory Speed signs (T3-16, TM3-16) (see Clause 4.9.2) or Speed Restriction signs (R4-1, RM4-1) (see Clause 4.7.6), may be required in conjunction with these signs.

Where work is carried out under MRTS11 Sprayed Bituminous Treatments (Excluding Emulsion) or other Technical Specifications which require regulatory speed limits to be posted after resealing works, the requirements of those Technical Specifications regarding the installation of speed limit signs shall apply.
