Why No Speed Limit?

A lot depends on how far apart they are. A consist needs to be able to get fully between them. Speed decreases when the front passes a lower-speed sign but won't increase until the rear has cleared the speed sign. Signaling also plays a part in the speed it does.
A few questions. I ask just to put all cards on the table.
1. Are these speed signs on your static object tab or track side object tab? (I've oopsed this one once)
2. Are you sure these are scripted signs? (There are a few that are just for show)
3. Do you happen to have other splines of any kind overlayed on the tracks? (Catenaries, powerlines, fences, 3rd rails, etc...)
4. Have you tried other speed signs to troubleshoot this issue? (This one may answer #2)
5. (Dumb one, but I did say all cards.) Are they facing the correct direction?

To which I would add another "Dumb one"
6. Are the speed signs in the correct units - Imperial or metric?
The fact that trains are not dropping their speed to match a lower speed limit would indicate to me that the signs are either dummy signs (point 2 above) or are not actually on the track splines (point 1 above).
