a tempory speed restriction sign is a yellow sq.... an end tempory speed restriction sign is a green sq.... a perminit speed restriction sign is a yellow dimond...and the resume speed sign is a green dimond... the yellow and green tempory speed restriction signs dont have a speed..and are normaly preseeded by an advanced warning sign that is yellow with an orange line going from one corrnor to the other... the perminet speed signs will have a freight train speed on the top...a line..and then passanger train speeds below it..all in black letters...as the green dimond has no writhing...

Most speed signs are a rectangular sign with the speed in black numbers on a white background. If there are passenger speeds, then there may be two numbers, the upper one the passenger speed.

In the western US where GCOR is in effect, temporary speed restriction signs are a solid yellow square and are placed 2 miles before the speed restriction. There is no advance warning sign, they are the advance warning sign.
