You cannot be prosecuted for a speeding offence for the warning or information signs, however, you could be prosecuted for one or more of the careless driving offences or in a worst case scenario for causing death by dangerous driving, if your excessive speed caused an accident. The presence of a warning or advisory sign could be used as secondary evidence.
