If you had a cup, and its limit of being full was the rim of the cup, it can not be filled anymore, therefore "does not extend or pass." And a speed limit can be, therefore, a different definition with "may not extend or pass." And then the second definition, being 2. A restriction on the size or amount of something permissible or possible. This definition is basically the same thing but uses different context.

Speed limits can be passed because they are set by someone, and a glass of water filled to the brim, is at its limit, because the glass has a set size and can only contain that much water.
