Speed Limit 60 km/h Sign
Maximum speed is 60 km/h. This is the default limit inside any urban area, so it applies on town and city roads even where no sign is posted. Urban roads carry pedestrians, driveways, parked cars and frequent intersections, so the limit is set low enough to stop for something that appears at short notice.
