Sign '30', but you can drive 50: drivers explained the new rule on the roads

According to hvylya.net: New road signs in the form of a circle with black numbers on a white background outlined in a green frame have begun to appear on Ukrainian roads. These signs recommend speeds on certain sections of the road, but adherence to these recommendations remains at the discretion of the drivers. However, specialists advise taking them into account, as they indicate areas with an increased risk of accidents.

These new signs suggest a safe speed for drivers for specific sections. They are installed near schools, in residential areas, and at challenging turns where the likelihood of accidents is high. This is a reminder for drivers about the importance of reducing speed to avoid traumatic situations.

These signs with a green frame remind that this is a recommendation, not a mandatory limit. However, ignoring them can have serious consequences for drivers and other road users.

Similar practices of speed sign installation are followed in Germany and Norway. These measures are informative in nature, but help prevent accidents, especially in dangerous areas with limited visibility or a high number of pedestrians.

New road signs in the shape of a circle with black numbers on a white background and a green frame recommend safe speeds for drivers on certain road sections, indicating potential accident risks and encouraging caution on the road.
