What should you do?
Keep your speed at or below 30 km/h and expect pedestrians, cyclists and children stepping out between parked cars.
How to recognise it
A red-ringed white circle with a large black 30 and km/h underneath.
Common confusion
A limit is a maximum, not a target; in a 30 km/h area you may need to go even slower near schools or parked vehicles.
