What the exam asks about this sign
The question is which speed applies after this sign: 80 km/h on an ordinary road outside the built-up area, unless a sign says otherwise or the road is an expressway or motorway. Trap: candidates pick 100; that applies only on an expressway (G3). Also asked: may you overtake just before a junction outside the built-up area? On a priority road, yes.
Often confused with
- Start of the built-up area
H1— The start of the built-up area. - Start of an expressway (autoweg)
G3— Expressway: there 100 applies. - End of the previously indicated maximum speed
A2— End of a sign-based limit.
