D-42 Built-up area
What it means
Marks entry to a built-up area. From here a limit of 50 km/h applies around the clock unless another sign sets otherwise, along with, among others, the duty to let a bus pull out of a stop. The sign need not stand next to buildings; the sign itself counts.
In the exam
The 50 km/h limit in built-up areas applies 24 hours a day (the old 60 km/h at night was abolished in 2021). Exceeding it by more than 50 km/h in a built-up area means a 3-month licence suspension.
