How the test asks about it
- 1.
This plaque is mounted below a speed limit sign. What is it telling you?
Not quiteCorrect answer: A — The penalty for a speeding violation in this zone is greater than the usual one
FINES HIGHER marks a stretch — typically a work zone, a school zone or a designated safety corridor — where the penalty for speeding is increased. It changes what breaking the limit costs you, not what the limit is.
Reading the plaque as a lower speed limit. The sign above it still gives the limit; the plaque only raises the price of ignoring it.
