Auckland Harbour Bridge ?
Discussion
Just came across the Harbour Bridge and those square light thingies that do the crosses and arrows were showing '50'.
I've obviously seen this before but for the first time I wondered . . . Is this a mandatory speed limit or an advisory?
If it's a mandatory speed limit there must have been some change in the traffic regulations that I missed?
They must have sneaked it in with the Boy-Racer Act

I've always looked upon them as advisory limits.
For starters, the ONLY way you can be notified of a new speed limit is on the official type sign (black number on white background inside a red circle). When a temporary speed zone is in place (such as in road works) the temporary speed limit must be reinforced every 250m by another temporary speed limit sign.
Having said that, I think some schools have lit-up signs outside denoting a 40km/h speed limit.... having said that, my bet is that if you got pinged for 40km/h+, then you'd be pretty easily able to defend it in court.
