speed limit sign
Posted pace maximum
A speed limit sign is a roadside marker displaying the maximum legal speed for vehicles on that stretch of road.
The number shown—typically in miles or kilometers per hour—represents the enforceable limit, not a suggestion: I missed the speed limit sign and got pulled over doing fifty in a thirty-five zone.
