Question: A round white sign with a red circle around a number (e.g. 50) means:
Answer options:
- Recommended speed ✅ Maximum legal speed
- Minimum speed
- Distance to next town
Correct answer: Maximum legal speed
Explanation: This regulatory sign indicates the maximum legal speed limit permitted on that stretch of road. Under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, a red circle on a sign always signifies a mandatory restriction or prohibition, making this speed limit legally binding. It is not a recommended speed, which is represented by a yellow advisory sign, nor is it a minimum speed or a distance guide sign. Understanding the distinct colors and shapes of traffic signs is essential for passing the G1 rules exam, as the test frequently assesses your ability to distinguish between mandatory regulatory signs and advisory warning signs.
