This sign gives advance notice that a temporary 50 mph limit starts three-quarters of a mile ahead. When must you comply with that limit?

From the point where the mandatory speed-limit signs beginThis was the right answer
The pictured sign gives advance notice. Its distance plate means the mandatory restriction starts at the later red-ring speed-limit signs, not at the advance sign. Slow in good time for roadworks and then remain within the signed limit until it ends or changes.
