End of special speed limit
The sign indicates that the special speed limit of 30 km/h ends. The general speed limit then applies again: 50 km/h in built-up areas and 80 km/h outside built-up areas, unless otherwise indicated by signs.
When you see the sign
When you pass the sign, the special speed limit of 30 km/t ends. After that, the normal speed limit is 50 km/t in built-up areas or 80 km/t outside built-up areas, unless another speed limit is posted.
Rules
- The speed limit of 30 km/t applies until you have passed the sign.
- The sign only ends the special speed limit of 30 km/t; it does not automatically set a new speed limit with a specific value.
- After the sign, the general speed limit applies: 50 km/t in built-up areas and 80 km/t outside built-up areas, unless otherwise posted.
- Even if the speed limit increases, you must still adjust your speed to factors such as visibility, road and weather conditions, the state of the road and traffic.
Tips
- Wait until the entire vehicle has passed the sign before increasing your speed.
- Determine whether you are in or outside a built-up area before deciding which speed limit applies ahead.
- Look out for a new speed-limit sign shortly afterwards, especially where a residential area transitions into a main road.
- Do not automatically accelerate to the highest permitted speed if there are still pedestrians, intersections or poor visibility.
Common misconceptions
- Assuming that the sign always means the speed limit becomes 50 km/t. Outside built-up areas, the general limit may be 80 km/t.
- Starting to accelerate before passing the sign, even though 30 km/t still applies until you pass it.
- Assuming that the sign means all speed limits have ended. It only ends the special 30 km/t limit.
Test yourself
Easy
What does the sign mean?
- AThe speed limit is always set to 50 km/t.
- BFurther entry is prohibited for all vehicles.
- CAll speed limits on the road in question end.
- DThe special speed limit of 30 km/t ends.
Medium
You are driving at 30 km/t and approaching the sign. What must you do?
- AI stop before the sign and assess the traffic.
- BI drive at no more than 30 km/t until I have passed the sign.
- CI increase my speed as soon as the sign becomes visible.
- DI continue at no more than 30 km/t for the rest of the road.
Hard
You have passed the sign outside a built-up area. No other speed limit is posted, and the conditions are good. What is the highest permitted speed?
- AThe highest permitted speed is 30 km/t.
- BThe highest permitted speed is 50 km/t.
- CThe highest permitted speed is 110 km/t.
- DThe highest permitted speed is 80 km/t.
Theory test tip
A common trap is to answer that the sign always introduces a speed limit of 50 km/t. The correct answer depends on the area: normally 50 km/t in built-up areas and 80 km/t outside them, unless another limit is posted.
Did you know
The sign does not show the new speed limit because it refers back to the general speed limits in Norway. The driver must therefore know whether the road is in or outside a built-up area.
Frequently asked questions
Can I increase my speed before I have passed the sign?
No. The speed limit of 30 km/t applies until you have passed the sign, and you should only increase your speed after passing it.
What is the speed limit after the sign in a built-up area?
It is normally 50 km/t if no other speed limit is posted. You must still adjust your speed to the conditions.
What is the speed limit after the sign outside a built-up area?
It is normally 80 km/t unless otherwise posted. The sign does not mean that you have to drive at 80 km/t.
Is this the same as the end of a speed-limit zone?
No. Sign 364.3 ends a special speed limit of 30 km/t, whereas a speed-limit zone ends with its own end-of-zone sign.
