Max speed limit 60kmh

Max speed limit 60kmh

The maximum speed allowed from this point is 60 km/h, a limit commonly used on rural local roads and some urban approach roads.

Regulatory Traffic Signs

What should you do?

Do not exceed 60 km/h, and drive slower where bends, narrow sections or poor visibility mean it is unsafe to go that fast.

How to recognise it

A red ring around a large black 60 with km/h written underneath.

Common confusion

A 60 km/h limit on a narrow country road is a maximum; examiners expect you to adjust your speed to conditions rather than drive at the limit.
