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.

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.
