What is an "advisory speed limit"?
An advisory speed limit is a recommended maximum speed for vehicles to travel under certain road conditions, but it is not legally required. It is usually displayed on signs to guide drivers for safety in areas where there may be curves, steep slopes, or potential hazards. While the advisory speed limit suggests a safe speed to avoid accidents, drivers are not obligated to follow it unless it is also a legal speed limit. The goal is to help prevent dangerous driving and improve safety based on the current road conditions.
Examples
The advisory speed limit on the sharp curve is 30 kilometers per hour to prevent accidents.
