E43: Motor traffic road

E43 · Special regulation signs

Motor traffic road

På dansk Motortrafikvej

What it means
The special rules for this road type and its entry and exit roads apply.
Your action
Use it only with an eligible motor vehicle able and permitted to reach at least 50 km/h on level road. Do not reverse, turn around or make an ordinary roadside stop.
Common mistake
The 50 km/h eligibility condition is not an obligation to keep that speed in congestion; the sign does not itself state the current speed limit.
