Application of regulatory signs at the entrance to built-up areas

**Regulatory signs** (for example, speed limits, prohibitions, obligations) that are placed **next to the sign indicating the entrance to a built-up area** indicate that their **rule applies throughout the interior of that built-up area**.

- If a regulatory sign is placed **next to or above** the sign with the **name of the town**, its effect **extends to all the streets and roads** in that town.
- This rule remains in force **until the exit from the built-up area**, **unless** other **signs are placed somewhere within it** indicating **different regulations** (for example, another speed limit on a specific street).

In short, the circular regulatory sign placed above the built-up area entry sign **sets the general rule** that applies **throughout the built-up area**, except on sections where other signs indicate otherwise.
