In the presented situation, is the prohibition expressed by this sign binding from the place of its erection?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo on the right there is sign B-33 "speed limit" with the number 30, and further on you can see roadworks and guide boards. The ban on exceeding 30 km/h starts to apply at the place where the sign stands, not only at the roadworks. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals sets a general rule for all prohibition signs: the prohibition applies from the place where the sign is put up, unless a specific provision states otherwise. If the prohibition were to start further on, there would be plate T-21 with a distance under the sign. There is no such plate here, so you slow down to 30 km/h already at the sign - at roadworks the limit protects the workers standing right next to the roadway.
Legal basis: § 15 para. 2 and para. 5 point 2 and § 27 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
