Some speed limits use black rectangles with what word above the indicated speed?

Explanation:
Nighttime speed limits are shown with a black rectangle above the speed and the word Night to tell you that this lower limit applies only after dark. The idea is to adjust speed for reduced visibility and longer stopping distances when it’s night. Day, twilight, and sunrise aren’t standard labels used on speed limit signs to indicate a nighttime change, so they wouldn’t convey the nighttime restriction. If you see the Night indicator, slow to the posted speed after dark and resume the higher speed when it’s daylight.
