Permanent speed restriction boards are pentagonal as in the picture above.On the Ratlam-Kota section I've observed that permanent speed restriction boards for mainline are preceded by a caution indicator board and the approaching maximum speed is also painted on the caution indicator so that the driver has advance warning of at least one kilometer in which to slow down.

Many of them know about speed limits by heart.

Even I noticed this during my recent visit to VM.But Why turn them ? Can't we just switch them off (Am sure the experienced pilots won't mistake these for BG 'blown-out' signal).

do they deenergise the catenary in case the light signal needs attending to..?

Its a semaphore and a router, the router saves a lot of unnecessary structure and another semaphore
