A curve sign has a speed plate fixed under it. What does the number show?

  1. The recommended top speed through the curve in ideal conditions
  2. The legal minimum speed in the curve
  3. The speed limit for the next town
  4. The distance to the curve
Show answer

Correct answer: The recommended top speed through the curve in ideal conditions

The plate gives a safe speed for ideal conditions. Slow down more if the road is wet or icy.
