    The 70 km/h speed warning sign has an always active 1000Hz magnet where you should acknowledge every time you pass it. You might want to check this great webpage http://www.sh1.org/eisenbahn/rindusi4.htm

    On another topic, the PZB in Rapid Transit currently has a known bug where the mode is PZB 55 with a speed limit of 105 km/h. Passenger trains should be in PZB 85 with a speed limit of 165 km/h. So Rapid Transit is broken now. Unless you want to keep the speed of your train under 105 km/h, you should turn off the PZB at the current game state.

    You need to acknowledge the PZB when passing the 70 kmh advance warning board (the yellow triangle board), but not necessarily need to be at 70 kmh at that point. I don't know which keyboard key to use for PZB acknowledge (because I play with PS4), but you have to press it after passing the board. Don't wait too long, otherwise, the emergency brake will activate. After acknowledging, it is a standard procedure to reduce your speed to be under 85 kmh in under 23 seconds. Since the soon-to-be speed limit will be 70 kmh, you need to further reduce your speed to 70 kmh. At this point, the PZB will only interfere if you go above 85 kmh whilst the 1000hz magnet is active.

    You might also want to watch this helpful video by Matt. I also learned by watching this video

    It's because of the PZB mode error. With PZB55, which is supposedly for a freight train, you need to slow down to 55kmh.
    Normally, in PZB85 mode for passenger, you need only to slow down to 85kmh to avoid emergency brake.
    If you have other German route, I recommend to use other route to learn PZB. Avoid using Rapid Transit at the moment because of PZB error which is yet to be fixed.
