Regulatory signs carry a legal penalty. Advisory signs do not. For example, a black and white speed limit sign is regulatory, and you can be fined for violating it. A yellow ramp speed sign is advisory and simply a safety device.
Basically, an advisory speed limit sign is posted when there is an area of roadway where a hazard could occur. Example; a highway has a speed limit of 45mph. A curve that has a bridge directly on the other side may have a spped limit advisory of 35 mph. This limit is not, as some beleive, the maximum safe limit, but is the speed which gives the driver greatest chance of avoiding a problem if one occured with minimal impact on the traffic flow. These signs are not enforced as a speed limit sign, however, any time a driver is going too fast for conditions is illegal, regardless of what the speed limit sign or advisory exhibits.
Perhaps you inquire about the division of Advisory and Compulsory. A suggested speed for a curve, vs a Stop sign.

Traffic signs that are rectangular typically convey regulatory information, such as speed limits, parking regulations, and directional guidance. These signs are designed to provide clear and specific instructions to drivers and pedestrians. Common examples include "No Parking," "One Way," and "Speed Limit" signs. The rectangular shape helps ensure easy recognition and comprehension.
Advisory speed sign
On many highways it is unsafe to continue at the normal speed limit as you go around a curve (especially for large trucks with a high center of gravity that might tip over), therefor reduced speed signs (often yellow advisory signs not the usual white legal signs) are posted indicating reasonable and safe speeds to use through the curve.
A regulation sign is a sign that gives you the regulation for something. These signs are always in white and black and rectangle in shape. An example is a speed limit sign.
