Street signs

Three street signs on a street. The topmost sign is yellow diamond in shape and shows a speed bump with an arrow above (indicating speed bumps ahead). Below this another yellow sign says 10 km/h in the upper part and Next 180 m on the lower part (indicating the speed bumps continue for the next 180 m of the street and that a driving speed of 10 kilometres per hour is recommended). Below this is a parking sign that says 1P 7.30am-11pm (indicating parking time is limited to 1 hour between those times).
