- Speed limit signs inform motorists of speed restrictions established by law or regulation. There are three types of speed limits:
A. Linear Speed Limit – A linear speed limit is one which applies along a particular highway, or along a portion of a particular highway.
B. Area Speed Limit – An area speed limit is one which applies to all highways within a specified area, except those specifically excluded. The area may be an entire municipality, or only a portion thereof. The defined area may also be the grounds of a school, hospital, or other institution.
C. Statewide Speed Limit – The statewide speed limit is established by the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law, and is applicable on all highways where other speed limits have not been established.
