Explanation

The maximum speed sign (R-301) applies from where it stands until the next end of speed limit sign (R-501), end of prohibitions sign (R-500) or another maximum speed sign; if it is on the same post as a danger sign, it ends where the danger ends. It does not expire when you leave a travesía or after a certain distance.
