R-301
What does the R-301 sign mean?
Maximum speed
Meaning
You may not exceed the speed shown, in km/h. It applies from the sign until the next end-of-speed-limit, end-of-restrictions or different maximum-speed sign — unless it shares a post or board with a danger-warning sign, in which case it ends when the hazard does. On a road without priority it stops applying once you leave a junction with a priority road.
