1. End of restriction

End of restriction means the end of one or more local traffic restrictions that applied to vehicles on the preceding section of road. It may be indicated by a specific end-of-restriction sign, by the crossed-out version of an earlier restriction sign or by another sign that establishes a new rule.

After a de-restriction sign, drivers must follow the normal traffic rules and any new restrictions that apply. It does not mean that there are no speed limits or traffic rules beyond the sign.

Which sign indicates de-restriction in Belgium?

The Belgian C46 sign indicates the end of all local prohibitions imposed on vehicles in motion.
