Sign F9: End of all prohibitions indicated on an electronic signalling board
Legal meaning
End of all prohibitions indicated on an electronic signalling board.
Shape and colour
Round grey signalling sign with a black diagonal bar: all electronically indicated prohibitions end here.
Where the sign stands
On a matrix gantry above the carriageway, at the end of the stretch that was regulated electronically.
What the exam asks about this sign
The exam asks what applies after this symbol on the matrix gantry: the electronically shown bans (speed, overtaking ban, closed lane) lapse and the fixed signs and general limit apply again. Trap: candidates pick 'the limit of the previous gantry' — that is exactly what has ended.
