Speed limit signs
Start of a 30 miles per hour speed limit at the boundary of a town or village
What it means
This yellow-backed gateway sign marks a village or town boundary where a 30 mph limit starts. You will meet it coming off a national speed limit country road into a village. The limit applies from the sign, not from where the houses begin, so brake early and be at 30 as you pass it.
