Lately I was mapping features along motorways, including speed limits. Some of them are displayed on electronic signs, but usually only change in case of traffic jams... All of them showed 100. And under normal circumstances they will always show 100.
They have them in the UK as well: on the M25 for example in the Heathrow area. But they really do vary here - they aren't just on/off but set the speed dynamically to try to improve traffic flow.
There are also indicator sings on all UK motorways which can be used to display a variety of signs dynamically, including variable speed limits, in case of emergency. Often they will graduate downwards from some miles away from an incident to slow or stop traffic. As far as I can see I'm the only one who takes a blind bit of notice of these speed limits and people get annoyed with me when I do! Funny world.
