In this situation, does the speed limit apply only to the outermost right lane?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving on a road outside a densely built-up area; the roadway has two lanes in your direction, and on the right there is sign B-33 "speed limit" of 50 km/h, with a blue board below it showing a broken line and an arrow pointing diagonally left, which informs you of a change in the lane layout. The speed limit applies not only to the far right lane. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign B-33 "speed limit" means that you must not exceed the speed shown on the sign in kilometres per hour, and a sign placed on the right side of the roadway or above the roadway applies to drivers in all lanes; only when signs are placed above individual lanes does a sign apply only to the lane it hangs over. The sign is on a post on the right, so it applies in both lanes. If the limit were meant to apply to one lane, the sign would hang over that lane, or a yellow sign F-22 "restrictions in a lane" would be used, on which the symbol of the prohibition sign is drawn in a specific lane. So you slow down to 50 km/h whichever lane you are in, and prepare to change your path as shown by the signs and road markings.
Legal basis: § 27 para. 1, § 2 para. 1 and § 77 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
