Question 6793

When does the maximum speed limit shown on the sign end?

  1. Upon reaching any end-of-prohibition sign.
  2. Upon leaving a built-up area.
  3. If posted on a road without the right-of-way, upon leaving an intersection with a road that has the right-of-way.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: If posted on a road without the right-of-way, upon leaving an intersection with a road that has the right-of-way.

In the picture, the 40 sign is on a road approaching an intersection with a yield sign, so that road does not have the right-of-way. When posted this way, the limit ends as you leave the intersection with the road that has the right-of-way. An end-of-no-passing sign, for example, would not end this speed limit.
