That is something I found really confusing the first time I drove in
Belgium. There were lower speed limit signs on the approach to a
junction, but no sign to cancel it out yet there was another sign at
the next junction.....
I had just assumed that they forget about the limit after a bit and
tended to assume it had finished when I saw the sign on the other side
of the junction.
One difference between the UK and other European countries is that
opposite directions cannot (or never does?) have a different speed
limit on a single carriageway.
