What should you do?
Begin slowing so that you are at or below the speed limit when you reach it.
How to recognise it
White rectangular sign with a round speed limit symbol, such as 30 km/h, above a distance, such as 200m.
Common confusion
The limit applies from the distance shown, not at the sign itself.
