I understand that, but why introduce a new system for 40 zones? By that logic, we should never see a "Maximum 50" sign, only the start and end of exceptions. Streets with a 60km/h limit aren't "60 Areas" demarcated by "Maximum 60 Area Begins" and "Maximum 60 Area Ends" signs, but simply by posting what the speed limit is, including when it reverts back to the standard 50km/h (see photo).
In other words, if we are posting a sign at the end of a 40 zone, why are we posting what the speed limit isn't instead of what it is?
