<p>Firstly, for the example you provided, you may say <code>那条路限速50英里</code> then I will know it is 50 miles/hour</p>

<p>secondly, in China the default unit is kilometers per hour for speed limit, so if you want to say "that road has a 50 km/h speed limit" you can just say <code>那条路限速50</code></p>
