Ah, the speed limit signs themselves also. This section is limited to 50 km/h, and this one is 60 km/h. Ok so far? The next one is simply marked “not 60” good luck.
We have this in Australia too. In built-up areas (think a town or city) the default limit is 50km/h, and outside of those it’s 100km/h. You’ll often have a speed limit of 80km/h as you head out of a small town on a country highway, and then an “End 80” sign to indicate you can drive the default 100km/h.
Is that iust americans being used to arbitrary speed limits meaning signs EVERYWHERE?
Where I live, its 50 in towns, 100 outside of towns. Meaning there will only be signs when it’s not the default for some reason, like a school zone, road work etc.
Hold the speed signs are always a good laugh.

Like the “end of 50er zone” sign if you leave a village?
here in sweden that would presumably mean the default 70km/h applies
70? It’s 80 in Norway, unless it’s in a village where it’s 50

Having worked in a multinational company and having to explain it to new hires, it’s more than just americans. E.g.brits find it hilarious.
