Speed limit signs

Circular signs that set the maximum legal speed for the road. These are the speed limit signs you need to recognise for the DVSA theory test and for safe driving afterwards.

Every speed limits sign in this category

National speed limit sign

A plain white circle with a black diagonal stripe that hides one of the most misunderstood rules in the whole Highway Code.

30 mph speed limit sign

The most common speed limit in built-up Britain, and one the theory test expects you to recognise even without a sign present.

Your theory certificate lasts two years. Most learners who use it quickly do it with an intensive course — a block of hours with a DVSA approved instructor and a practical test at the end, instead of one lesson a week for months.
