The 40 km Speed Limit road sign (R201-40) is an R Series regulatory sign used to indicate the maximum legal speed that may not be exceeded from the point of installation. A 40 km/h limit is typically used where a reduced operating speed is required due to intersections, pedestrian activity, or road environment changes.
Purpose and function
