This was the official response from the RTA... I think they tried their hardest not to answer my question.....

A number of relevant sections from the Speed Zoning - Traffic Engineering Manual to assist in responding to the enquiry:

There should be a harmonious relationship between speed zoning and warning signs, particularly curve signs and advisory speed signs.

The use of buffer zones ( a gradual reduction in speed limits eg an 80 km/h speed limit between a 100 km/h rural limit and a 60 km/h urban limit is not recommended. An intermediate speed limit should be used only where adjacent roadside development supports such actions.

Advanced warning of changes in speed limits should be provided in the following locations by an additional speed restriction sign with an AHEAD supplementary plate: insufficient sight distance, a downhill approach, where there is a speed reduction of 30 km/h or more.

Speed limit reduction: 10 km/h (no use of advanced warning sign with AHEAD plate), 20 km/h (no unless extreme situation), 30 km/h (at the discretion of the practioner), 40 km/h+ (yes, except with special zones).

In terms of first repeater speed limit signs and placement, 40 km/h (generally not needed), 60 km/h (300m), 70 km/h (300m), 80 km/h (300m), 90 km/h (400m), 100 or 110 km/h (500m), 100 or 110 km/h in far west of State (1000m).

In terms of subsequent repeater signs, 40 km/h (generally not needed), 60 km/h (generally not needed), 70 km/h (say 1000m), 80 km/h (1000m), 90 km/h (3000m), 100 - 110 km/h (5000 - 10000m), 100 - 110 km/h far west (10000 - 20000m).

In terms of desirable minimum length of speed zones, 40 km/h (200m), 60 km/h (500m), 70 or 80 km/h (800m), 90 -100 km/h (2000m, except winding road 3000m), 110 km/h (4000m divided, 10000m undivided).

Hi,

I'm enquiring about when a speed limit changes. Is there a certain distance that you're given to speed up/slow down to that speed or do you have to immediately speed up/slow down to match the new speed?

Thanks for your time.
