Question 6672

The sign shown in the photograph requires you to maintain that maximum speed throughout the entire built-up area...

  1. you may exceed it by 20 km/h to pass another vehicle.
  2. regardless of any other speed limit signs you encounter within it.
  3. except where another speed is indicated.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: except where another speed is indicated.

The 50 is above the sign with the name of the built-up area, so it applies throughout the area. On sections where another sign indicates a different speed, you must obey that sign. You must not exceed the 50 limit by 20 km/h to pass another vehicle either, because that allowance does not exist on any road.
