Entry continues in its own lane
The sign indicates that entry continues in its own lane.
When you see the sign
Continue in the lane you are currently driving in; the on-ramp lane continues as a separate lane. You therefore do not need to merge into the lane on the left where the sign is located. Adjust your speed to the traffic and change lanes later only when it is safe.
Rules
- The on-ramp continues as a separate lane, so you can continue driving without merging immediately.
- If you change lanes later, you must give way to traffic in the lane you want to enter.
- You must use your turn signal before changing lanes and make sure the manoeuvre can be carried out without causing danger or unnecessary obstruction.
- The sign specifies neither a speed limit nor motorway status; these are determined by other signs and rules.
Tips
- Look at the lane markings and calmly continue in your own lane instead of forcing your way into the lane on the left.
- Use your mirrors and check your blind spot if you want to change lanes later.
- Adjust your speed to the flow of traffic, but stay within the applicable speed limit.
- Be aware that the new lane may later become an exit lane.
Common misconceptions
- Thinking that the on-ramp lane ends immediately and therefore making an abrupt or unnecessary lane change.
- Thinking that the sign gives you priority when changing lanes later.
- Interpreting the sign as a motorway sign or as an indication that the speed limit is 110 km/h.
Test yourself
Easy
What does this sign indicate about the on-ramp?
- AThat the lane ahead is a heavy-traffic lane
- BThat the on-ramp continues as a separate lane
- CThat the on-ramp lane immediately enters another lane
- DThat the road ahead is a motorveg
Medium
You pass this sign while entering via an on-ramp. What should you do next?
- AContinue in your own lane and change lanes only when it can be done safely using the indicator.
- BContinue in your own lane and demand the right of way during a later lane change.
- CIncrease your speed to 110 km/t because the sign indicates this speed limit.
- DChange lanes immediately because the on-ramp lane ends just after the sign.
Hard
What can you determine with certainty about the road's status and speed limit based solely on this sign?
- AThat motorveg ends and the maximum permitted speed becomes 80 km/t
- BThat motorveg begins and the maximum permitted speed is 110 km/t
- CThat the sign alone neither establishes motorveg status nor a speed limit
- DThat motortrafikkveg begins and the maximum permitted speed is 80 km/t
Theory test tip
Look for the difference between a lane that continues and a lane that must merge. The common trap is to answer that you must change lanes immediately, even though the sign shows that you can continue in your own lane.
Did you know
The sign is typically used where the on-ramp lane becomes an additional through lane instead of ending as a normal acceleration lane.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to move into the lane on the left when I see the sign?
No. The on-ramp continues as a separate lane, so you can continue straight ahead in the same lane.
Do I have priority if I want to change lanes later?
No. When changing lanes, you must give way to vehicles in the lane you want to enter, and you must signal with your turn signal.
Does the sign mean that the road is a motorway?
No. A motorway is indicated by sign 502, while this sign only shows how the on-ramp lane continues.
Can the lane become an exit lane further ahead?
Yes. The sign only indicates that the lane continues as a separate lane at this location, so you must follow any later signs and road markings.
