End of expressway

Information signsSign no. 4.04OSR art. 45

What the sign says

The expressway rules fall away and the general traffic rules apply again: junctions, pedestrians, slow traffic.

The exam trap

From the sign, the limit goes from 100 back to 80 km/h outside built-up areas, with no disc to remind you. The reverse holds on entry: the sign there cancels every previously signposted restriction.

The signs are the official depictions by the Federal Roads Office, from the annexes of the Signalling Ordinance (SR 741.21): official works, unprotected under Art. 5 of the Copyright Act. The explanations, by contrast, are written from federal law — never taken from a third-party catalogue.
