To what place does the maximum speed indicated by this sign apply to?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. The intersection of the track.
Explanation
In the photo we see sign BT-1 "speed limit" - a white board with a red border and the number 30. The maximum speed shown on this sign applies until the fork in the tram tracks - the answer is A.
Sign BT-1 prohibits the driver of a tram from exceeding the speed shown on the sign. The ban applies from the place where the sign is placed to the nearest junction (fork) of the tracks, or to sign BT-2 "end of speed limit". So it does not end at a pedestrian crossing (answer B), or at a road junction that the track crosses without a fork (answer C). When you see the sign, you reduce your speed straight away.
