Question 514 in the bank

Until where do the following road signs remain valid?

Two signs: on the left, a white circle with a red border and the number 40 in black; on the right, a black square with a red ring and the number 60 in white.
  1. Until the nearest traffic light, provided that the light is green.
  2. Until the nearest bus station.
  3. The validity of the sign expires when approaching a densely populated area.
  4. Correct answer: Until the nearest junction or until another “speed limit” or “end of speed limit” sign is placed.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Until the nearest junction or until another “speed limit” or “end of speed limit” sign is placed.

A sign that sets a maximum speed, whether a regular or an electronic one, applies to the section of road after it. It stops being valid at the nearest junction, or when another sign sets a different speed, or when a sign marks the end of a special speed limit section. So after the junction the speed set by the sign no longer applies, unless the sign is placed again.

Topic: Traffic signs. The bank marks it for these classes: Light truck (C1), Heavy truck (C), Bus (D), Motorcycle (A), Tractor (1), Private car (B).
