Regulatory sign · Speed
50 km/h is the limit, and the same number applies in built-up areas with no sign.
What it means
The 50 in a red ring is the number you will live with most as a learner. Where houses, shops or other buildings line the road, NSW sets a 50 km/h limit even if no sign is in sight, so a posted 50 is often just a reminder. You will see it after leaving a faster road and entering a suburb, or at the start of a quiet town street.
Slow to 50 as you pass the sign, even if the road still feels open.
Assume 50 in any street lined with buildings and no signs.
Keep well below it near parked cars, shops and bus stops.

Any road in a built-up area has a 50 km/h limit unless a sign sets a different number.

Right.Not quite. The answer is C.
A number in a red circle is the maximum speed allowed until another limit sign. It is not a minimum or an advice speed.
