The speed signs on the official sheet show a maximum limit, a minimum speed and the "end of minimum speed" sign. The motorway signs mark the start and end of the motorway and one sign forbids learner drivers.
The advisory speed sign (333) is not a limit: it is a recommendation. For other restrictions, see prohibition signs.
