if you can take a picture and show them proof that it is obscured i suppose you have a chance of getting off...
what speed were u doing? if it was over 40, then u will still be done.

Even if the Actual speed limit sign is obscured, there will always be repeaters, smaller signs along the road and not that far apart, so they would probably argue even if you miseed the actuall sign, you should have seen a repeater and corrected speed.
30 signs aint repeated, you get one upon entry to a 30 zone, and both sides fo road have to be visable from a minimum distance
if you was doing 46+ then you got no chance really,
but under this you can argue that if sign was on left obscured, you was overtaking a cyclist so you didnt see sign on the right thast limit was changing, if sign on right was obscured, you was overtaking a cyclist and was watching him, and didnt see the hidden sign on the right type of thing

Apparently the phrase you need to quote is 'to erect and maintain' as this is the legal requirement.
So it is not just a case of putting up the signs they also have to ensure they are always clearly visible.
