In the US, yellow speed limit signs are advisory rather than legally enforceable, unlike the standard black-and-white regulatory signs. Advisory signs typically appear before sharp curves or other hazards, recommending a safe speed for that specific section of road. Drivers who exceed the posted advisory speed are not breaking the law, but may be driving unsafely. Black-and-white signs, by contrast, carry the force of law.
