Traffic Signs

Until where do the following road signs remain valid?

Question illustration
  1. Until the nearest traffic light, provided that the light is green.
  2. Until the nearest bus station.
  3. Until the nearest junction or until another “speed limit” or “end of speed limit” sign is placed.· Correct answer
  4. The validity of the sign expires when approaching a densely populated area.

Explanation

Special speed-limit signs are in force until the nearest junction, or until a sign setting a different speed, or until a sign marking the end of a special-speed section (427). After that, the normal maximum speed set by law for that type of road resumes.

How to approach it

Special speed = until junction / another sign / end-of-section sign
