End of kollektivfelt
The sign indicates that kollektivfelt for buses and taxis ends.
When you see the sign
The sign indicates that the bus and taxi lane ends. Adjust your position according to the road markings and any further signs, and change lanes only when you can do so without danger or unnecessary obstruction to others.
Rules
- From this sign onward, the lane is no longer reserved for buses and taxis.
- The sign does not automatically give any road user right of way when merging or changing lanes.
- When changing lanes, you must give way to traffic in the lane you intend to enter.
- The continued use of the lanes is determined by road markings, other traffic signs and the general traffic rules.
Tips
- Look ahead for arrows, lane lines and new signs indicating how the lanes continue.
- Check your mirrors and blind spot before changing lanes after the bus and taxi lane ends.
- Avoid positioning your vehicle in a way that blocks a bus or taxi trying to merge.
- Adjust your speed so that any merging can take place calmly and predictably.
Common misconceptions
- Believing that the sign indicates the end of a motorway or motor traffic road.
- Believing that the speed limit changes when the bus and taxi lane ends.
- Assuming that traffic from the lane that has ended always has right of way.

Theory test tip
In the theory test, this sign can be confused with signs indicating the end of a motorway, motor traffic road or heavy-vehicle lane. Look for the public transport symbols, and remember that 510.2 ends the bus and taxi lane reservation without itself changing the speed limit.
Did you know
Sign 510.2 applies specifically to a lane reserved for both buses and taxis. The end of the lane reservation does not necessarily mean that the lane itself disappears; it may continue as an ordinary traffic lane.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the lane as a car driver after this sign?
Yes, if the lane continues as an ordinary traffic lane and no other signs or road markings restrict its use. You must still follow the rules on positioning and changing lanes.
Do buses or taxis have right of way when the bus and taxi lane ends?
Not automatically because of this sign. The road user changing lanes normally has to give way to traffic in the lane they intend to enter.
Does the sign change the speed limit?
No, the sign only ends the bus and taxi lane reservation. The applicable speed limit remains in force until it is changed by a sign or other rules.
Does the sign mean that the lane physically ends?
Not necessarily. The lane may continue as an ordinary traffic lane, narrow or merge with another lane, so you must follow the road markings and any further signs.
