Maximum speed limit of 50 miles per hour
A red ring around the number 50. Most commonly seen on dual carriageways and busier rural single carriageways where 60 mph isn't safe but 40 mph is too restrictive. Roadworks on motorways and dual carriageways frequently use 50 mph limits with average-speed cameras enforcing them.
