unmoved mover

The unmoved mover is a philosophical concept described by Aristotle as the first cause that sets the universe into motion. As is implicit in the name, the "unmoved mover" is not moved by any prior action. In his book Metaphysics, Aristotle describes the unmoved mover as being perfectly beautiful, indivisible, and contemplating only the perfect contemplation: itself contemplating. The Unmoved Mover is also referred to as the Prime Mover.

Speed limit signs

The END (speed limit) AREA sign indicates you are leaving the area covered by the area speed limit and re-entering a general speed limit area.

The (speed limit) AREA sign indicates the speed limit within the area you are about to enter.

The END (speed limit) sign is used at the start point of a section of road covered by the general default speed limit outside a built-up area, where it is not practical or desirable to indicate the speed limit by means of a speed restriction sign. The use of this sign is the exception rather than the rule.

You must not drive faster than the km/h speed shown in the circle. In poor conditions it is safer to drive slower than the speed limit

Some speed limit signs show times or days that the limit applies, e.g. in school zones. Other variable speed limit signs have a changeable electronic display to show the current speed limit, e.g. around sports venues. These variable speed limit signs may have different colours to the normal speed restriction sign.

Give way to pedestrians and do not drive faster than the km/h speed shown in the circle between this sign and the next END SHARED ZONE sign.

You have reached the end of a shared zone, the previous speed limit no longer applies and you are no longer required to give way to pedestrians.
