What should you do?
Check your speedometer as you pass the sign and settle at or below 50 km/h, watching for junctions, crossings and pedestrians.
How to recognise it
A red-ringed white circle containing a large black 50 with km/h below.
Common confusion
Learners often keep a higher rural speed into the town; be at 50 km/h or less by the time you pass the sign, not after it.
