속도 제한은 차량의 속도에 법적인 한계를 정하는 것으로, 대부분의 경우에는 최고 속도를 제한하지만 최저 제한 속도를 제한하기도 한다.
속도 제한 표지편집
속도 제한 표시는 보통 빨간 테두리의 원에 검정색 숫자를 표기하는 방식이다. 다만 미국, 캐나다 등은 하얀 사각형에 스피드 리밋 시속 몇 마일(킬로미터)을 적어놓기도 한다.
최고제한속도 표지판편집
Ireland includes the text "km/h" since going metric in 2005
Indonesia (in km/h) includes the text "km" on the top right corner; this model was also used by a number of European countries such as Germany, Italy and Switzerland until the 1960s.
Japan uses blue numerals; km/h
Samoa uses both miles per hour and kilometres per hour
The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia (km/h) use both Western Arabic and Eastern Arabic numerals
United States (Oregon variant)
Some speed limits are applicable to a zone.
최저속도제한 표지판편집
최저속도 제한은 비앤나 협약에 따라 파란 원으로 표시되지만, 몇몇 남미 국가에서는 빨간색 테두리의 파란색 원 표지를 사용하기도 한다. 북미의 그냥 사각 표지판에 미니멈이라고 적어놓고 최저제한속도를 표시한다. 한국과 일본[3].

Colombia; km/h
Indonesia (includes the text "km" on the top right corner); km/h
Japan; km/h
Philippines; km/h
South Korea (which looks similar to this sign from Japan except the numerals are black); km/h
United States; mph
Special speed limits편집
In some countries, speed limits may apply to certain classes of vehicles or special conditions such as night-time. Usually, these speed limits will be reduced from the normal limit for safety reasons.
Australia – Speed limit during certain times
Romania – Car and truck speed limit
United States – Roadworks zone speed limit
Unique speed limit sign in the United States on evacuation routes requiring drivers to maintain the maximum safe speed
Safe speed sign in South Korea
Speed limit derestriction편집
In some countries, derestriction signs are used to mark where a speed zone ends. The speed limit beyond the sign is the prevailing limit for the general area; for example, the sign might be used to show the end of an urban area. In the United Kingdom, the sign means that the national speed limit applies (60 mph on open roads and 70 mph on dual carriageways and motorways). In New Zealand it means you are on an open road, but the maximum legal speed of 100 km/h still applies.[4] On roads without general speed limits, such as the German Autobahn, a portion of the Stuart Highway, and rural areas on the Isle of Man, it means the end of all quantitative speed limits.틀:Citation needed

The NYR2-4, NYR2-5, and NYR2-6 signs...shall be used for posting area speed limits which are essentially city-wide, village-wide, and town-wide, respectively.... The word 'AREA' in the NYR2-3 sign may be replaced by other generic legend (for example, 'CAMPUS', 'PLAZA', 'MALL', 'PARK', etc.) where it would more clearly and appropriately identify a physically defined area.
