Cevap

It is a mandatory speed limit that you must not exceed.
On smart motorways, speed limits displayed within a red circle on overhead gantries or roadside signs are mandatory. You are legally required not to exceed this maximum speed limit until you pass a sign displaying a different limit or the national speed limit symbol.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the shape and border of the overhead traffic signal
The display shows a circular shape with a red border containing a numerical value.
In the UK Highway Code and traffic sign regulations, signs in red circles give orders that are mandatory.
2
Apply the rule for smart motorway variable speed limits
The speed limit of 50 mph is legally enforceable for all drivers in that lane until changed or ended.
Mandatory variable speed limits are used on smart motorways to smooth traffic flow and manage hazards.
