50

A03

Maximum speed on an electronic gantry sign

What it means

The same obligation as A1, but shown on a matrix panel above the road. Used to steer the speed per lane and per moment.

What it requires of you

If a normal roadside sign shows something different from the gantry sign, the LOWER of the two applies — art. 63b(2). The electronic sign therefore does not win automatically; the lower figure wins.

Where it stands

Above the carriageway, usually per lane, on motorways and expressways.

How far it applies

Applies to the lane it hangs above, until the next gantry.

Do not confuse it with

  • A01

    Substantively the same command; the difference lies in the carrier and in the conflict rule, where the lower value wins.
