Does this sign indicate the beginning of a built-up area?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo on the right there is a white board with a black silhouette of buildings - sign D-42 "built-up area". It means entering a built-up area. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that D-42 means entering a built-up area, and D-43 with a red line across it means leaving it. From this sign the speed limit of 50 km/h applies to you, unless another sign changes it, as well as a number of rules connected with built-up areas, for example the ban on using the horn except in a situation of direct danger. The green board E-17a with the name of the town does not replace D-42 - only this white sign changes the speed limit.
Legal basis: § 58 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 20 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
