What does the advisory speed plaque sign mean?
Advisory speed plaque
The recommended top speed for the hazard on the sign above it. Slow to this speed before you reach the hazard.
Why it looks like this
It is yellow because it is advice for a curve or ramp, not a legal limit. Engineers set it for good conditions.
How to respond
- Slow to this speed before you reach the hazard.
- Go even slower in rain, snow or at night.
Common mistakeTreating it as optional. Crashes happen when drivers take curves too fast.
