speed limit signs

Road pace markers

Speed limit signs are road signs displaying the maximum legal speed for a stretch of roadway.

In the United States, these are typically white rectangles with black numbers indicating miles per hour.

Speed limit signs mark where limits change—entering residential areas, school zones, or highway on-ramps.

Watch for speed limit signs when you cross state lines.
