In New Zealand the end of the speed limit is always indicated by a sign and that makes it easy. Here in BC a few school zones have signs indicating "zone ends"....but then we have the idiotic system where drivers are supposed to be looking for the back of the signs on the opposite side of the road marking the start of the same zone for opposing drivers. If you are in a "municipality" then there are no signs required to tell you when you are going out of it. Speeds out of town are generally 80kmh unless otherwise posted..
Speed limits
146 (1) Subject to this section, a person must not drive or operate a motor vehicle on a highway in a municipality or treaty lands at a greater rate of speed than 50 km/h, and a person must not drive or operate a motor vehicle on a highway outside a municipality at a greater rate of speed than 80 km/h.
If you get a ticket for "speed against a Hwy sign" the specific sign must be described as part of the charge and it must have been visible to you at the time.
