Question: A speed-limit sign (white rectangle with black numerals) indicates:
Answer options:
- Recommended speed ✅ The maximum legal speed under ideal conditions
- Minimum speed
- Average traffic speed
Correct answer: The maximum legal speed under ideal conditions
Explanation: Under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, white regulatory signs indicate strict legal requirements. Therefore, a white speed-limit sign dictates the maximum legal speed allowed under ideal driving conditions, requiring drivers to slow down during poor weather. Warning signs with a yellow background, not white, indicate recommended speeds for hazards like sharp curves. Minimum speeds and average traffic speeds are incorrect because they do not represent this statutory ceiling. For the G1 exam, recognizing the distinction between white regulatory signs, which are legal mandates, and yellow warning signs, which are safety suggestions, is essential for passing the rules-of-the-road section.
