Placement of speed limit sign

Are there any rules on the placement of speed limit signs! I pass one often that seems to be placed where it wont be seen. It is on the intersection of the new Ruby Bay Bypass SH60 and the newly renamed Aporo Road (Tasman). The sign 70kph is on Aporo Rd, but right at the intersection. You don't really see it with all the other signs in your face. Seems daft as it is not possible to take the 90 degree corner at 100kph or 70kph. Isn't it more sensible to have it set further down Aporo Road away from the other signs!

theres a 30 kmh sign in Orewa hidden behind a palm tree, good for revenue gathering

I don't think the residents of Orewa need to worry about being ticketed since they are mostly geriatric.
