Earlier this week we added a response to an enquiry about a specific traffic sign. This was titled “Speed limit and maximum limit weight signs”
The enquiry reads:
“Just to ask a quick question. When travelling on public road outside an urban area which is not a freeway and approaching an intersection; if there is a speed limit of 100 Km/h on its own post followed shortly after by another post which has: 60 Km/h and a sign of 3,5 T directly underneath it on the same post, does this mean: A) the speed limit is 100 Km/h for vehicles below the 3,5 T mass limit or that B) the speed limit goes from 100 Km/h to 60 Km/h for all vehicles and that the mass limit is 3.5 T?”
We would like to add another version of the answer as well!
Prohibition Sign : Speed limit
Indicates to the driver of a vehicle that the speed limit beyond such point is the speed indicated in kilometres per hour; by means of a number on such sign as indicated by this sign, and shall not be exceeded.
Combination Sign
The speed part is the same as above. The vehicles exceeding mass only sign (3.5t)
Indicates that vehicles exceeding a GVM & GCM of 3.5t shall not exceed 60km/h.
