3. Zone
A traffic zone is an area in which a traffic rule applies throughout all included roads or road sections. The rule normally begins at a zone-entry sign and remains applicable until the corresponding end-of-zone sign is passed.
Zones may regulate speed, parking, access, vehicle categories, emissions or other traffic behaviour. The signs used, the roads covered and the effect of intersections or local exceptions depend on local traffic law.

A Norwegian speed zone is a fartsgrensesone. A parkeringssone is a parking zone. The sign at the boundary specifies the restriction, including any parking conditions.

Where does a zone rule apply in Norway?
A speed zone applies throughout the indicated area, across its included junctions and streets. Parking-zone rules also concern the area, but local signs can give particular parking places their own conditions.

A speed zone ends at its end sign or when replaced by the officially signed residential area or pedestrian street specified in Norwegian signing rules. Do not assume a junction alone ends it.
