What does the C59 'End of Prohibition' sign mean in Denmark?

The C59 sign signals the conclusion of a specific traffic restriction that was in place before you reached the sign.

Always be prepared to comply with the next rule or the general traffic regulations for the road ahead.

Can the C59 sign be confusing on the theory test?

Yes, the C59 sign can be a trap if you aren't paying attention to the signs and road layout *before* it. Learners might forget that a restriction has ended and continue to act as if it's still in place, or conversely, assume all restrictions are lifted when another might immediately follow. Always focus on the signs and context *after* the C59.

Does the C59 sign mean all restrictions are lifted?

Not necessarily. The C59 sign only indicates the end of *one specific prohibition*. There might be other signs in effect, or new restrictions may begin immediately after the C59 sign. You must always remain observant of the road ahead, including lane markings, traffic signals, and any subsequent signs, to understand the current rules.

What kind of restrictions can the C59 sign cancel?

The C59 sign can end a wide variety of restrictions, including speed limits, bans on certain vehicle types or loads, parking prohibitions, restrictions on turning, or limitations on accessing specific zones like environmental zones. The specific restriction that has ended is always indicated by the sign that was posted *before* the C59.
