The Midlands Urban Motorway has streetlights every 100 metres, and no road
signs saying it's a 70 limit...

So that rule of thumb doesn't work.

That rule of thumb would be Traffic Signs Regulations and General
Directions 2002. Motorways don't have to have speed limit repeaters,
but do need to have a sign at the junctions where the 70 limit
starts. Maybe these have been liberated for use as Frisbees?
