22—Speed limit in a speed limited area
(1) The speed limit
applying to a driver for any length of road in a speed limited area is the
number of kilometres per hour indicated by the number on the area speed limit
sign on a road into the area, unless another speed limit applies to the driver
for the length of road under another rule of this Part.
Example of another speed limit—
Although an area speed limit sign on a road into a speed limited area may
indicate a speed limit of 60 kilometres per hour, a particular length of road
in the area may have a school zone sign indicating a 40 kilometres per hour
speed limit for that length of road.
Note—
"Length" of road is defined in the dictionary.
(2) A "speed limited
area" is the network of roads in an area with—
(a) an
area speed limit sign on each road into the area, indicating the same number;
and
(b) an
end area speed limit sign on each road out of the area.
(3) In subrule (2)(a)
and (b)—
"road" does not include a road-related area.
Note—
"Road-related area" is defined in rule 13.
