What does a yellow advisory speed sign on a curve mean?

The answer

  • It is the recommended maximum speed for average vehicles in good conditions Correct
  • It is the minimum speed you must maintain
  • It applies only to heavy vehicles
  • It is a regulatory limit you must not exceed

Why that's the answer

Advisory speed signs are not regulatory. They have a yellow background and show the recommended maximum safe speed for average vehicles in good conditions, usually alongside a warning sign — you should go slower when conditions are poor.
