Upon encountering the 'End of speed limit' sign, you should be prepared to drive at a different speed. Check for any new speed limit signs, observe the road ahead, and ensure your speed is appropriate for the new conditions or the general speed limit that now applies.

However, it implies that you must now comply with whatever the subsequent restriction or general rule dictates, so any action that violates those subsequent rules would be prohibited.
