Does anyone know why the 40km/h neighbourhood speed limits are posted as "Maximum 40 Area Begins" and "... Area Ends"? In particular, why the "Ends" sign instead of just posting what speed limit is resuming? I don't understand the reasoning for treating these sections of road differently from anywhere else that falls outside of the standard 50/80km/h roads. When a country road goes through a small town, the lowered speed limit is posted, and then an 80km/h sign is posted after exiting the city, not a "Maximum 50 Area Ends". Likewise in the city when a speed limit is over 50km/h, it's not some special "Area".
