The sign E 43 marks the start of such a stretch of road and informs road users that they must comply with the specific rules that apply to driving on an expressway.
The special rules for driving on expressways and on the slip roads to and from them include, among others, the following provisions:
- A prohibition on pedestrians, cyclists, mopeds and certain other categories of traffic.
- A prohibition on stopping and parking, unless parking facilities are specifically indicated.
- Rules on speed limits and minimum speeds on the expressway.
- Rules on entering and leaving the expressway correctly by means of the entry and exit ramps.
- Rules on driving in the separate lanes, including overtaking and a prohibition on driving on the hard shoulder except in an emergency.
It is important for road users to be aware of and respect the specific rules for driving on an expressway, as they are designed to keep traffic on expressways flowing safely and efficiently. The sign E 43 acts as a reminder of these rules and marks the transition to a stretch of road where the expressway provisions apply.
E 44 โ End of motorway
The sign E 44, End of motorway, is not normally used at exits where the motorway joins the ordinary road network. This is because it is understood that the motorway ends at the exits and that road users are returning to the ordinary road network.
The sign E 44 is used mainly in special cases where it is necessary to mark clearly that the character of the motorway changes or ends on the motorway stretch itself, without this being connected to an exit. This can be the case, for example, where the road comes to an end, or in an area where the motorway turns into another type of road, such as an expressway or an ordinary main road.
It is important for road users to pay attention to the signage and to any changes in the road conditions where the motorway ends. They should adapt their driving accordingly and follow the rules and provisions in force for the type of road in question.
E 45 โ End of expressway
The sign E 45, End of expressway, is not normally used on roads that cross an expressway, or at exits where the expressway joins the ordinary road network.
This is because it is understood that the expressway ends at crossings and exits and that road users are entering the ordinary road network. In these cases there is no need to mark the end of the expressway with a special sign, as road users are already on stretches of road that are not expressways.
The sign E 45 is used mainly in special cases where it is necessary to mark clearly that the character of the expressway changes or ends on the expressway stretch itself, without this being connected to a crossing or an exit. This can be the case, for example, where the road comes to an end, or in an area where the expressway turns into an ordinary main road or another type of road.
It is important for road users to pay attention to the signage and to any changes in the road conditions where the expressway ends. They should adapt their driving accordingly and follow the rules and provisions in force for the type of road in question.
E 49 โ Pedestrian street
The sign indicates an area where the following special traffic rules apply:
1) The area is reserved for pedestrians.
2) Permission to drive in the area may be granted. In that case, driving must take place in compliance with the provisions of points 4-8.
3) Any permission to drive is stated on a supplementary panel as set out in section 16(3), points 2-5. In addition, the supplementary panel "Driving permitted" or other supplementary panels permitting certain categories of traffic may be used. Permission on a supplementary panel can be limited in time, cf. section 9, sign U 3.
4) Driving in the area may only take place at a very low speed (normally below 15 km/h).
5) Drivers must show particular care and consideration towards pedestrians, cf. section 27(3) of the Road Traffic Act.
6) Where there are people on the road who could come dangerously close to the vehicle as it passes, driving may not continue until the driver has made sure that those people are aware of the vehicle and have made room for it to pass. Such people must not, however, unnecessarily prevent drivers from getting through.
7) Parking in a pedestrian street may not take place outside specially marked spaces. This does not, however, apply to bicycles, mopeds and two-wheeled motorcycles.
8) Drivers have an unconditional duty to give way when leaving a pedestrian street, cf. section 26(3) of the Road Traffic Act.
The sign can be used with the supplementary panels U 1, U 2 or U 6 for advance warning.
E 51 โ Residential and play area
The sign E 49, Pedestrian street, indicates an area where special traffic rules apply on the following points:
- The area is only permitted for pedestrians. Driving is not permitted unless permission is granted, which is stated on supplementary panels.
- Permission to drive can be granted under certain conditions.
- Permission to drive is stated on a supplementary panel in accordance with the rules of the Road Traffic Act.
- Driving in the area must take place at a very low speed, normally below 15 km/h.
- Drivers must show particular care and consideration towards pedestrians.
- If there are people on the road who could be put in danger as the vehicle passes, the driver must make sure that they are aware of the vehicle and make room for it to pass. Those people must not, however, unnecessarily obstruct the passage.
- Parking in the pedestrian street is only permitted in specially marked spaces. This does not, however, apply to bicycles, mopeds and two-wheeled motorcycles.
- Drivers have an unconditional duty to give way when leaving a pedestrian street.
The sign can be used together with the supplementary panels U 1, U 2 or U 6 to give advance warning of the pedestrian street.
It is important for road users to pay attention to the sign E 49 and to follow the special traffic rules that apply in the pedestrian street. This keeps both pedestrians and any permitted vehicles in the area safe and orderly.
E 52 โ End of residential and play area
The sign E 52, End of residential and play area, is used to mark the end of an area where special rules and considerations for spending time and playing apply. When road users pass this sign, they must be aware that they are now leaving the residential and play area and that the ordinary traffic rules and restrictions apply again. This means that road users must follow the general rules on speed, giving way, parking and the other traffic provisions that apply to the road or area in question.
It is important to pay attention to the signage and to respect the changes in the traffic rules that mark the end of the residential and play area. This keeps traffic flowing safely and efficiently and contributes to a harmonious transition between areas with different rules and considerations.
E 53 โ Traffic-calmed area
The sign E 53, Traffic-calmed area, is used to indicate an area where the road has been laid out in a way that is not suitable for high speeds. The purpose is to encourage road users to slow down and drive carefully in the area.
The sign marks the start of the traffic-calmed area and states the maximum permitted speed that road users must comply with. This may be a lower speed than the ordinary speed limit for the road.
The sign can be accompanied by the supplementary panels U 1, U 2 or U 6 for advance warning. These supplementary panels are used to warn road users about the traffic-calmed area ahead and to encourage them to pay attention and adjust their driving accordingly.
It is important for road users to observe the speed limits stated in the traffic-calmed area in order to stay safe and avoid potentially dangerous situations. By driving at an appropriate speed and watching out for any traffic-calming measures, road users can help to keep traffic in the area flowing safely and securely.
E 54 โ End of traffic-calmed area
The sign E 54, End of traffic-calmed area, is used to mark the end of an area where the road was laid out with traffic-calming measures. When road users pass this sign, it means that they are now leaving the traffic-calmed area and can go back to following the ordinary speed limits for the road.
The sign marks that any traffic-calming measures no longer apply and that road users can drive at the permitted speed that normally applies on the road. It is important to be aware of the change and to adapt your driving to the speed rules in force once you have passed the sign.
The sign E 54 also marks the end of any other special measures that were in place in the traffic-calmed area. This can include physical speed bumps, chicanes, narrower carriageways or other measures designed to reduce speed.
When road users pass the E 54 sign, they must return to ordinary driving and comply with the speed limits and the other traffic rules that apply on that stretch of road. It is important to adapt to the changed conditions and to keep driving safely once you have passed the sign.
E 55 โ Built-up area
The sign E 55, Built-up area, is used to indicate an area where the Road Traffic Act's rules for built-up areas apply. When road users pass this sign, it means that they are now entering an area where special rules and restrictions apply to driving and speed.
The sign can carry the geographical name of the town in Danish and also in English or in the official language of a neighbouring country. This helps road users identify the specific area they are now in and which rules apply.
The sign can also be produced as a supplementary panel and placed together with the sign C 56, End of local speed limit. This indicates that the special speed limit applying in the built-up area ends and that road users must return to the ordinary speed limits for the road.
It is important for road users to pay attention to the sign E 55 and to adapt their driving to the rules in force for built-up areas. This can include lower speed limits, special precautions for pedestrians and cyclists, and greater attention and consideration towards other road users.
E 56 โ End of built-up area
The sign E 56, End of built-up area, is used to indicate that you are leaving an area where the Road Traffic Act's rules for built-up areas apply. When road users pass this sign, it means that they are now outside the specific area where special rules and restrictions apply to driving and speed.
The sign can carry the geographical name of the area in Danish and also in English or in the official language of a neighbouring country. This helps road users identify the specific area they are leaving and be aware that they must now follow the ordinary traffic rules that apply outside the built-up area.
It is important for road users to pay attention to the sign E 56 and to adapt their driving to the ordinary traffic rules that apply outside the built-up area. This can include changes in speed limits, in signage and in the general driving provisions, depending on the specific road and the traffic conditions.
E 68 โ Zone sign
The sign E 68, Zone sign, is used to indicate a specific area where the provisions of the signs shown as symbols apply. The sign can also be used to state the provisions for parking in the area (but see E 33 Parking).
The zone sign can state the detailed content of the provisions as well as the distance to the start of the area. This helps road users stay aware of the specific rules and restrictions that apply inside the zone sign area.
The provisions stated on the zone sign remain in force until they are lifted by sign E 69 or replaced by statements about the same matter on another zone sign. Within the area there may be local markings where the provisions of the zone sign are departed from or adjusted.
It is important for road users to pay attention to zone signs and to respect the provisions and rules stated for the area in question. These can include speed limits, prohibitions on certain categories of traffic, or special parking rules.
E 69 โ End of zone
The sign E 69, End of zone, is used to mark the end of an area where special provisions and rules apply. When road users pass this sign, it means that they are leaving the area where they previously had to follow the specific rules and restrictions stated by a zone sign or another relevant sign.
The sign E 69 therefore marks the end of the zone and indicates that road users are now returning to the ordinary traffic rules and conditions that apply outside the special zone sign area. This can mean, for example, changes in speed limits, in the categories of traffic permitted, in parking rules or in other local provisions.
It is important for road users to pay attention to end signs such as E 69 and to adapt their driving and behaviour to the general traffic rules that apply outside the zone.
E 80 โ General speed limits
The sign E 80, "General speed limits", states the general speed limits that apply on the road network in the country. This sign is normally placed at the country's borders or at the entrance to a major road network and shows the speed limits that apply to different vehicles on the roads in question.
Note that the specific speed limits can vary depending on the category of road, the type of vehicle and local conditions. The general speed limits are normally laid down in the Road Traffic Act or in the road traffic rules of the country in question.
For precise information about the general speed limits in a particular country, you are advised to consult the national traffic legislation or the official road authorities in that country. These sources will give you detailed information about the speed limits in force on the road network.
