RECOMMENDED SPEEDS

ADVIESSNELHEDEN

In the Netherlands rectangular blue traffic signs with white ciphers indicate recommended speeds. Recommended speeds must be perceived by the road users as necessary otherwise they lose their credibility. Recommended speeds are necessary when the road user can perceive a discontinuity in the highway or traffic image, but cannot determine the safe proper speed.
