Range (distance) for a Speed Limit Sign?

Does a speed limit sign have a distance limit other than another speed limit sign? That is, does the limitation value stop at a signal, a switch or some other on-track element?

Nothing else that I'm aware of other than the next speed limit.

In Trainz, there's no range. Once you pass it, that's the speed forever.

Depending on the Railroad, but also generally no. The speed limit is set and then can stay that for 100 miles, but generally there'll be another sign somewhere along that route.

There are exceptions though - in my state in Australia the driver's were tasked with knowing the max speed for the line, and then curveboards were used, slowing down around corners with no speed signs on the way out - the driver's just sped back up when they had passed the curve.

In some European countries I have seen an "end of limitation", a white square bordered in black: Pass it and resume maximum speed.

OK, Thanks... Looks like it is a simple marking that should preserve speed limits between speed signs(hopefully).

This is highly recommended and if you have any branches or sidings that require slow in and out, be sure to put the mainline speed at the exit, otherwise, the AI will continue to move at the slower speed. I also place reminders for the track speed because I will sometimes place a consist down on the track in the middle of nowhere. Without the posted speed anywhere, the AI will default to 40 mph even if the actual speed is supposed to be higher or lower.
