H02

End of built-up area

What it means

The built-up area ends here. From this sign the speeds and rules for outside built-up areas apply.

What it requires of you

The sign raises nothing by itself. On an ordinary road outside the area the default is 80 km/h; on an expressway 100, and on a motorway whatever the sign or gantry shows. Which of the three applies you read from signs G1 or G3, not from this one.

Where it stands

At the boundary of the built-up area, usually on the back of the H1 sign facing the other way.

How far it applies

Terminates the effect of sign H1.

Who it applies to

bestuurdermotorvoertuig

Do not confuse it with

  • H01

    H1 begins the area, H2 ends it; the difference is the red diagonal stripe.
