This sign gives advance notice that a temporary 50 mph limit starts three-quarters of a mile ahead. What must you do when you reach the start of the signed limit?
Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.
Answer options
Not exceed the speed limit
Obey the limit only during rush hour
Treat the speed limit as advisory
Obey the limit except for overnight
Show the answer
Not exceed the speed limitThis was the right answer
The plate makes this an advance warning: the mandatory 50 mph restriction starts at the later red-ring speed-limit sign, not where this advance sign stands. From that point, do not exceed the limit until it ends or another signed limit applies. Slow in good time for the roadworks and any earlier hazard.
