Correct answer
The maximum permitted speed.
The R-301 sign shown indicates a maximum speed of 40 km/h. It is neither a recommendation nor a minimum speed. It does not authorise exceeding a lower limit applicable to the vehicle or travelling at 40 km/h when conditions require a lower speed. The specific restriction has the scope prescribed for R-301; the image does not show a 120 km/h limit.
