When it comes to keeping roads, carparks, work sites and private properties safe, Speed Limit Signs are some of the most important pieces of traffic signage you can install. At New Signs, we make it easy to find every type of Speed Limit Sign, from standard road speed signs to site speed signs to customised Speed Restriction Signs tailored for private or commercial environments.

Whether you're looking for a Speed Limit Sign 40, a Speed Limit Sign 50, a Speed Limit Sign 60, or a Speed Limit Sign 100, our dedicated Speed Signs collections ensure you can locate exactly what you need - quickly, easily and confidently.

Types of Speed Limit Signs

Typically you will find a few main categories of speed signs: Standard Road Speed Limit Signs, Traffic Control Speed Signs, Shared Zone Speed Signs and Multi-Message Speed Limit Signs. Each category serves a different purpose, helping you manage traffic safely across roads, private property, workplaces and temporary sites. Here is a quick breakdown so you can find the signs you require:

Standard Speed Limit Signs

These are the classic circular Speed Limit Signs used across Australian roads - white background, black numerals and the familiar red border. They’re available in all common limits, including Speed Limit Sign 40, Speed Limit Sign 50, Speed Limit Sign 60 and Speed Limit Sign 100, making them ideal for residential, commercial and industrial environments.

Traffic Control Speed Signs

Used primarily in car parks, construction sites, and workplace traffic areas, Traffic Control Speed Signs clearly display the words “Speed Limit” alongside the designated speed in bold black text. These signs are designed to provide maximum visibility and clarity, making them ideal for environments where road layouts are complex, traffic patterns change frequently, or temporary hazards require drivers to adjust their speed quickly. For consistency with standard road signage and to enhance recognition, New Signs also offers variations that include the familiar red circular border around the speed, combining the benefits of traditional Speed Limit Signs with the flexibility needed for private and dynamic sites. Durable, easy to install, and suitable for both permanent and temporary setups, these signs are a practical solution for maintaining safe speeds in controlled traffic environments.

Shared Zone & Shared Driveway Speed Signs

Shared Zone Signs play a crucial role in keeping mixed-use spaces safe, calm and predictable - especially in high-foot-traffic areas such as residential complexes, shopping precincts, laneways and community facilities. In Australia, a Shared Zone is a designated area where pedestrians have absolute right of way, and vehicles must travel at walking pace. Shared Zone Signs clearly communicate these rules by pairing a simple speed restriction with a symbol showing people and vehicles co-existing in the same environment. Unlike a standard Speed Limit Sign or a Speed Restriction Sign that applies to general road conditions, Shared Zone Signs set behavioural expectations: slow right down, look for people and move with care. For property managers, body corporates and facility owners, these signs help reduce conflict points, improve pedestrian visibility and create safer movement zones where children, shoppers or residents are frequently on foot. When paired with Speed Limit Signage at entry and exit points, Shared Zone Signs deliver a complete and compliant speed-management system for any shared space.

Multi-Message Speed Limit Signs

Multi-Message Signs are one of the most effective ways to communicate multiple instructions in a single, easy-to-read sign panel. Designed for environments where drivers need clear guidance fast in a changing or temporary environment like construction zones or events - these signs allow you to combine a Speed Limit Sign with additional warnings or directives without cluttering the roadside or overwhelming motorists.

Multi-Message Signs can feature any combination of Speed Restriction Signs, hazard alerts, directional arrows, “Prepare to Stop,” “Reduce Speed,” or even site-specific notices like “Trucks Entering,” or “Authorised Vehicles Only”. By pairing a speed limit signs with complementary safety messages, you create a high-impact signboard that reinforces driver attention and compliance at exactly the moment it’s needed.

Whether you’re managing a fast-changing worksite or an event with unique traffic conditions, Multi-Message Signs provide a portable and professional solution that keeps motorists alert and speeds under control - exactly what’s needed to protect workers, residents and pedestrians.
