One city street here in Nashville, TN, USA went several decades with no speed limit signs at all. Then, one day, it suddenly had "Speed Limit 30 MPH" signs every few hundred feet. My guess is that someone successfully argued their way out of a speeding ticket, stating that they weren't violating the speed limit because no speed limit was posted, and that the court, and/or the public works department, decided to make sure that no one else could use the same excuse.

The speed limit sign you last saw is in effect untill you see another sign.
In Australia it might be 100 or more miles between signs.

My guess was also what Todd said. Same as the freeway.

that's also the situation in Germany: the motorway limit reaches until the end of the motorway which is typically signposted a few meters before the end of the off ramp. In Italy there's a general limit of 40km/h on all off ramps, although it is always (?) signposted I believe it is also set by the law and hence would also be effective in absence of signs.

cheers,
Martin
