Question 630 in the bank

What is the meaning of the following traffic sign?

A horizontal blue rectangle with a white border, containing white figures of an adult, a car and a child kicking a ball, crossed by a diagonal black stripe. Meaning: End of play street.
  1. Play street. No parking.
  2. Correct answer: End of play street.
  3. An area in which children are allowed to play when accompanied by an adult only.
  4. Speed limit beyond this point is 30 k.p.h.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: End of play street.

The diagonal black stripe on the sign marks the end of the effect of the sign beneath it, so this is the end of a play street. In a play street, pedestrians, playing children and vehicles share the same space, so you drive very slowly and give pedestrians priority. Beyond this sign the usual traffic rules apply again. The sign does not set a speed limit and does not refer to children being accompanied by an adult.
