R-300Minimum gapYou may not drive closer to the vehicle in front than the distance shown, except while overtaking. With no figure, it is a general reminder to keep the legally required safe separation.
R-301Maximum speedYou 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.
