I was pretty sure it didn't apply any more, the NT was the last to
have unlimited speed zones in Australia and 130km/hr has been the max
since 2007 I think.

At least the "end of local speed" signs aren't as useless as those
"End of 50 zone" signs.

Hmmmm, I guess it would be worth getting a racing license then :)
