Does the speed limit under this warning sign apply only to the area of road works and ceases to apply upon leaving this area?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo, we are driving a tram on segregated tram tracks next to the roadway; next to the tracks there is sign A-14 "roadworks", and below it a board with a speed limit of 10 km/h. The speed limit placed under this warning sign is not limited to the area of the roadworks and is not automatically cancelled when you leave this area - the answer is NO.
A speed limit introduced by a sign applies up to the place where it is cancelled or changed by another sign - it is not part of the warning sign. The fact that it is placed together with a warning sign about roadworks does not mean that it stops applying the moment you pass the place of the roadworks. So you drive no faster than 10 km/h until the limit is cancelled or changed. Only then may you speed up, adjusting your speed to the conditions.
