Roadsign question



So on the highway we all know to put our right foot down when we see this sign.
However me and my boyfriend (we are Swedish) spotted a few of these No Limit-signs on some back roads that normal have 70 signs. Does that really mean the same as on the highway, ie No Limit??

  1. No additional limit. So it’s 100kmh outside and 50kmh inside city limits.

    Additionally, this sign revokes *all* limits, so overtaking or any other road limits are also lifted.

  2. No, it means that former restrictions from other road signs (temporary max speed 70 for example) are lifted. On a highway the default is no speed restriction, but on a standard landstraße the max speed is already 100 by law, so even if former restrictions are lifted you still can’t go above 100 on those streets.

  3. It isn’t a no limits sign, but more a “back to default” sign. It ends all other round signs that came before, so also e.g. restrictions on overtaking.

  4. It lifts all limits imposed by signs, normal limits still apply.

    Important that there are also versions of this showing either a number in black or a traffic sign symbol in black. That means only the specific restriction is lifted.

    Example:

    You on a road with 70 km/h and “no overtaking”. Then you cross this sign, then it now a 100km/h road and you allowed to overtake again.

    If it is a 70 crossed out like this, the “no overtaking” is still in place and vice versa.

  5. This specific sign means two things:

    1. You are now free to overtake.
    2. The *default national speed limit* applies.

    The default national speed limit varies according to vehicle and road type. Assuming you are driving an ordinary car without a trailer, the default national speed limits are:

    * on autobahns, divided highways and roads with at least two lanes in each direction: no mandatory limit, but a recommended speed of 130 km/h;
    * on all other roads outside of built-up areas: 100 km/h;
    * within built-up areas: 50 km/h (however, you will never see this sign in built-up areas: the default speed limit will, if it is signed, always be explicitly signed as 50 km/h).

    This information is given on [these signs posted at international borders](https://assets.adac.de/image/upload/c_scale,f_auto,q_auto,t_2:1-default,w_1500/v1/ADAC-eV/KOR/Bilder/RM/richtgeschwindigkeit-neu-2101_raia5h).
