Which sign marks the end of a minimum speed zone?

Which sign marks the end of a minimum speed zone?

• A. Minimum speed
• B. Route to be used by pedal cycles only
• C. Buses and cycles only
• D. End of minimum speed

Answer: (D)

The concept here is understanding how a minimum speed restriction is started and ended on the road. In a minimum speed zone you must not drive slower than the posted minimum speed, to keep traffic moving safely. The sign that marks the end of that zone cancels that restriction, letting you return to driving at the normal speed you would on that road (within the general speed limit and sensible conditions). So, when you see the end-of-zone sign, you’re allowed to lift the minimum-speed requirement and drive as appropriate for the situation. The other signs refer to different rules (a sign that starts a minimum speed, a route for pedal cycles only, or buses and cycles only) and do not indicate the end of the minimum speed restriction.
