Correct answer: D. Post signs showing the maximum speed at each approach to the bridge

HTA Section 128(6) requires that when a municipality by-law sets a lower bridge speed, "signs indicating the maximum rate of speed shall be posted in a conspicuous place at each approach to the bridge" — the lower limit only applies where it's actually posted, not just because a by-law exists on paper.
