    As per the title, I encountered these today on the road out of Dungarvan. They were a 60 sign but with black rigs around them rather than the standard red and a 300m then 200m under a series of them.
    What do they mean? I assume they are warning of an upcoming 60 limit. Could someone please clarify this for me. Thanks.

    Yeah I've seen these a few times on national roads, and realised they were advisory.

    What I don't understand though is that on motorway corkscrew on ramps they are usually on a yellow diamond shaped sign, then on a few regional roads I have seen them on a white rectangular sign with red border underneath a triangular white sign with red border with an exclamation mark.

    There seems to be inconsistency with these advisory signs.

    I assume national and motorway ones will be a NRA standard, and maybe the other one I described is local authority own design due to being on a regional road, and only a by law and non enforceable?
