 Sizes, maximum recommended spacing and minimum visibility distances for repeater signs are shown in table 14-4. Repeater signs should be staggered on alternate sides of a single carriageway road, or on alternate sides of each carriageway of a dual carriageway road, in accordance with table 14-4. Guidance on the mounting of repeater signs, and co—location with other signs, can be found in paras 14.61 and 14.62. At a junction where the major road has a higher speed limit than the side road, it will be necessary to reduce the spacing of the repeater signs on the major road where these are used to indicate the speed limit to drivers entering from the side road, as the signs must be no more than 100 m from the junction in both directions (see para 14.12). Where this would result in a repeater sign being close to a terminal speed limit sign on the major road, it might be better to omit the repeater and use two terminal signs for traffic leaving the side road (see paras 14.12 and 14.13).
