Regulatory sign · Speed
80 km/h is the top speed allowed from this sign, for every licence type.
What it means
You meet the black 80 in its red ring on outer suburban arterials, some urban motorways and the edges of towns where homes thin out. Because it sits below the 90 km/h cap for learners and red P drivers, the number on the sign is the limit for everyone, L plates included. It applies from the sign until you pass a different limit.
Settle at or below 80 and keep a three second gap or more.
Slow further in rain or fog, since a limit assumes good conditions.
Look further ahead, as things happen faster at this speed.
Right.Not quite. The answer is B.
An electronic or variable speed sign is a real speed limit sign, so the number it shows is the limit while it is lit.

Right.Not quite. The answer is B.
The learner ceiling only caps higher limits, so on an 80 km/h road the sign's 80 is your maximum.
