Question
I am unable to find in the traffic legislation where a speed limit zone ends.
It begins at a speed sign. Does it end at a certain distance after this sign, at the next traffic lights, at the next intersection, at the next speed limit sign?,...
Answer
Generally - the speed only changes when the next speed limitation or delimitation sign appears.
There are some legislated speeds for types of roads- urban all at a maximum of 60kph unless marked otherwise (either higher or lower, major routes in provincial (rural) areas are either 80 kph (or as marked) and freeways are 120 kph (or as marked)
