Questions Learners Have About Speed Limit End Rules

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Speed Limit End Rules, including how questions match the official theory exam in Spain, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

How long does a speed limit sign (R-301) remain in effect in Spain?

A vertical R-301 speed limit sign in Spain remains in effect from its location until you encounter a 'Fin de la limitación de velocidad' (R-501) sign, a 'Fin de prohibiciones' (R-500) sign, or another 'Velocidad máxima' sign.

What happens if an R-301 speed limit sign is placed with a danger warning sign?

If an R-301 speed limit sign is placed on the same pole or panel as a danger warning sign (advertencia de peligro), the speed limit restriction ends precisely when the specific danger indicated by the warning sign finishes.

Does a speed limit painted on the road apply to all lanes in Spain?

No, if a speed limit is painted on the pavement (marca vial) within a lane delimited by longitudinal lines, the prohibition refers exclusively to vehicles circulating in that specific lane, not the entire road.

When does a speed limit cease to apply after an intersection in Spain?

A speed limit situated on a non-priority road (vía sin prioridad de paso) ceases to be obligatory when you exit that intersection onto a priority road (vía con prioridad). Otherwise, it generally continues unless another cancellation condition is met.

What is the difference between the R-500 and R-501 signs in Spanish traffic law?

The R-501 'Fin de la limitación de velocidad' sign specifically cancels a previous speed limit. The R-500 'Fin de prohibiciones' sign, on the other hand, cancels *all* local prohibitions for vehicles in movement, including speed limits, overtaking restrictions, and others that were previously in effect.
