C56 · Prohibitory signs

End of local speed limit

På dansk Ophør af lokal hastighedsbegrænsning

What it means
The local speed restriction ends. The applicable general or otherwise signed limit still depends on the road, area and vehicle.
Your action
Work out the applicable limit from the road type, area, vehicle and any further signs.
Common mistake
This sign does not mean unlimited speed, or always the same 50/80 km/h rule on every road.
