Does this sign indicate the end of a built-up area?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
A green board with the name of a town crossed out with a red line is sign E-18a "end of town". It only tells you that you are leaving the town with this name. It is not sign D-43 "end of built-up area" - that one is white, with a crossed-out symbol of buildings. So sign E-18a alone does not change the speed limit or other built-up area rules.
The Regulation on road signs and signals distinguishes between these signs: E-18a means leaving a town, and D-43 means leaving a built-up area. Until you pass sign D-43, you drive as if you were still in a built-up area, with a limit of 50 km/h. The opposite also happens: sign E-17a with the name of a town does not mean entering a built-up area if there is no sign D-42 next to it.
Legal basis: § 66 para. 2 and § 58 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
