They still have the signs at the edges of urban areas but I have yet to see any notification at the point where you leave the posted 60kph zone and enter a 50 zone nor do they always have a sign near the intersection where you turn from one 60 zone to another. Unfortunately if you drop to 50 INCASE its a 50 zone you stant a very high chance of gaining a landcruiser or pajaro as a trunk ornament.
