Does this sign inform you of approaching the end of the motorway?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving on a motorway through a forest, and on both sides of the roadway there are blue signs with a motorway symbol crossed out in red and the text "1000 m" - sign D-10 "end of motorway" placed in advance. It informs you that you are approaching the end of the motorway. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals provides that sign D-9 "motorway" means the beginning or continuation of a motorway, and its end is marked with sign D-10 "end of motorway"; a sign with the distance given warns you of this place in advance. Beyond the end of the motorway its special rules stop applying: the 140 km/h limit ends and the limits for the given road apply, and junctions, pedestrians, cyclists and slow-moving vehicles may appear. You reduce your speed in good time and pay more attention, because after a long drive on a motorway it is easy to underestimate how fast you are going.
