Correct answer

  • BCuando encuentre una señal de fin de prohibiciones.When you find an end-of-all-restrictions sign.
Explanation

Maximum speed. This prohibits driving faster than the speed shown on the sign, in kilometres per hour. It applies from where it is placed until the next “End of speed limit” sign, “End of all restrictions” sign or another “Maximum speed” sign. If it is placed on a non-priority road, it stops applying when you leave a junction with a priority road. If the sign painted on the road surface is in a lane marked out by lines, as in the photo in the question, that maximum speed applies only to that lane; if the lanes are not marked out, it applies to the whole carriageway.
