Speed limit signs are which color and shape?

Regulatory signs use color and shape to communicate rules, and speed limit signs follow the white rectangular format with black numbers. The white background with a rectangular shape is standardized to signal an enforceable limit that you must not exceed, and it’s designed for quick recognition. Other color/shape combinations indicate different kinds of information—red circles signal prohibitions, blue squares point to services, and yellow pentagons warn of upcoming conditions—so they don’t represent speed limits.
