Speed limit ahead
Warning signs

Speed limit ahead

A lower speed limit begins ahead.

Prepare to reduce speed before entering the lower-limit section. The new limit begins at the speed-limit sign ahead.

The United States W3-5 is a yellow diamond with a black upward arrow beside a white speed-limit panel. The panel displays the lower limit that applies ahead.
