@morrisononodje a limitation is a restriction. “This technique is useful but it has its limitations” means that it only helps up to a certain point and then it won’t be useful. “Please don’t ask me to sing - I know my limitations” means I know that singing is beyond my capabilities. “Our findings illustrate the limitations of this treatment” means the treat will help with some things but it won’t cure the illness entirely.

A speed limit is the maximum speed you can drive at. You are restricted at the speed limit and cannot go above it.
