Question 386 · Road signs
What is the meaning of the following traffic sign?
- End of overtaking-restricted section.
- Private passenger vehicles should not overtake trucks.
- Buses should not be overtaken.
- Trucks should not overtake private passenger vehicles.
Correct answer: End of overtaking-restricted section.
Why this is the answer
The black diagonal line across the lorry and car means "end": the stretch of road with the overtaking restriction finishes here. The sign forbids nothing; it lifts the restriction that came before it.
