It's not universal, but generally in California speed limits are black
text on a white background, advisories (recommended speeds in curves,
for example) are black on yellow, distances and directions are white on
green, recreation areas are white on blue, and parks are white on brown.
See the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices at
<http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/HTM/2003r1/html-index.htm>, and in particular
table 2A-4 at <http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/HTM/2003r1/part2/part2A.htm>.
