Is the prohibition expressed by this sign valid from its location to the nearest rail intersection?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo, we are driving a tram on tracks on a bridge, and on the right-hand side of the track there is the sign BT-1 "speed limit" with the number 20. The ban expressed by this sign applies from the place where it is located to the nearest track junction - the answer is YES.
The sign BT-1 prohibits the driver of a tram travelling on the track next to which it is placed from exceeding the speed shown on the sign. The ban applies from the place where the sign is located to the nearest track junction (fork) or to the sign BT-2 "end of speed limit". If there is no BT-2 sign before that, you drive at no more than 20 km/h all the way to the nearest junction or fork of the tracks.
Legal basis: § 81 para. 1-2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
