My understanding is that the signed speed limits are those that must

It'll be the lower of the signed speed limit and the limit for the
vehicle class.
IIRC the "national speed limit" is 30mph in a "built-up area" (i.e. even
if there is no speed limit sign) which is defined based on the distance
between the street lights. Assuming this still applies, you can't infer
that the effective speed limit on a single-carriageway road segment is
60mph unless you have been out with your trundle wheel and plotted all
the street lights.
