Speed signs

Permanent, supplementary and temporary speed information shown by distinct yellow and blue fronts.

Speed information

Shape and meaning

The sign shape distinguishes permanent, supplementary and temporary speed information.

The number normally represents tens of kilometres per hour. A smaller additional 5 denotes a further five kilometres per hour where that form is used.
