Question: A white regulatory sign showing 'MAXIMUM 80' means:

Answer options:

  • Recommended speed 80 ✅ Maximum legal speed 80 km/h
  • Minimum 80
  • Suggested cruising speed

Correct answer: Maximum legal speed 80 km/h

Explanation: Under Quebec's Highway Safety Code, white rectangular regulatory signs dictate mandatory laws, meaning "MAXIMUM 80" indicates the absolute maximum legal speed limit of 80 km/h under ideal conditions. In contrast, yellow signs designate recommended or suggested cruising speeds, which are advisory rather than legally binding. Minimum speed limits are specifically marked as "MINIMUM" and are typically reserved for freeways. Recognizing sign color-coding is a vital SAAQ exam concept, as distinguishing between mandatory regulatory signs and advisory warning signs is frequently tested to ensure drivers understand their legal obligations on public roads.
