Where a speed limit is not contained within a red circle it is not of prescribed form and is therefore unenforceable and there purely for advice/guidance.

I'm not sure if there was a circle around the number or not all I am positive on is that it was a sign to the left side of the road and it was all red writing

The only things that's worrying me is a little down the road it had the national speed limit sign in all screens across the lanes would they have had that if the speed limit was only shown on big screen?

Okay - we're getting technical here, but there are two types of gantry signs in use. The LED variable speed signs produce a distinctly round, distinctly white national speed limit sign. The old signs produce a yellowish, squarish sign made up from individual light bulbs. Either way, once the NSL sign is shown, there would not be speed detection for a previous limit below 70mph.

edit: There are also other gantry signs in use that show "End", but presumably we aren't talking about that here.

Here are new LED signs showing NSL.

I'm really not sure what this sign was I think I'm just going to have to wait it out and hope for the best considering I'm not even sure what motorway I was on just know where I was heading

Pop into a book shop and see if you can get a copy of the highway code and find the sign.

Sounds as though you'll be okay.

For future reference, there are variable speed signs on the M20 through the Maidstone area. I don't think the M23/M25/M26 have them in the area you were in.
