To what place does the maximum speed indicated on this sign apply to?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. The place indicating its end with the help of an appropriate sign.
Explanation
In the photo we are driving a tram towards a roundabout; by the track there is sign B-33 with a 40 km/h speed limit, sign D-6 below it, and further on signs A-7 and C-12. According to the answer key, the maximum speed shown on the sign applies until the place where it is cancelled by the appropriate sign - the answer is B.
A speed limit introduced by sign B-33 is cancelled by sign B-34 "end of speed limit", by sign B-33 with a different value, by B-42, B-43, by sign D-40, or by the signs marking the beginning or the end of a built-up area. A fork in the tram tracks (answer A) ends a speed limit introduced by sign BT-1, not by B-33. Note: the regulations also say that if the ban from B-33 is not cancelled earlier, it applies until the nearest junction, so answer C is not completely without basis - but in the exam, choose the answer from the key.
Legal basis: § 27 para. 1 and 4 and § 32 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
