Where the sign stands
On the right where the bans end, usually at the end of roadworks or a dangerous stretch.
What the exam asks about this sign
The question is what exactly this sign lifts: every ban imposed by signs at once, such as an overtaking ban and a sign-based speed limit. Not lifted are the general rules (the limit of the road type) and orders. Trap: candidates think 'anything goes' after F8.
