Queensland Consolidated Regulations(1) The speed limit applying to a driver for any length of road in a speed limited area is the number of kilometres per hour indicated by the number on the area speed limit sign on a road into the area, unless another speed limit applies to the driver for the length of road under another section of this part.
Example of another speed limit--
Although an area speed limit sign on a road into a speed limited area may indicate a speed limit of 60km/h, a particular length of road in the area may have a school zone sign indicating a 40km/h speed limit for that length of road.
(2) A speed limited area is the network of roads in an area with--
(a) an area speed limit sign on each road into the area, indicating the same number; and
(b) an end area speed limit sign on each road out of the area.
