RKreutzer has got it right.
The yellow 'shading' between the 50 and 60 km/h marks is there to indicate the speed range you should be driving in, when in city areas. Many european cars have 'shading' in the 110 - 120 km/h marks to indicate the speed range for the freeways too. It's as simple as that..
