End of zone with a prohibition on the use of small electric motor vehicles

Prohibitory Signs Sign number: 382

The sign indicates that the zone with a prohibition on the use of small electric motor vehicles ends.

When you see the sign

When you pass the sign, the zone prohibition on the use of small electric motor vehicles ends. If you are riding or driving such a vehicle, you may continue beyond the sign unless other signs or traffic rules prohibit it; for car drivers, the sign does not directly change anything.

Rules

  • The sign marks the end of a zone where the use of small electric motor vehicles is prohibited.
  • The prohibition applies right up to the sign and ends only when the sign is passed.
  • The sign lifts only the specific zone prohibition; other prohibitions, requirements or traffic rules still apply.
  • The sign does not mark the end of prohibitions applying to cars, motorcycles, mopeds or bicycles.

Tips

  • Look out for new signs just after the end of the zone, as other local restrictions may apply further on.
  • As a car driver, be aware that riders or drivers of small electric motor vehicles may enter the traffic scene beyond the sign.
  • Distinguish this sign from sign 306.10: Sign 306.10 introduces a prohibition, while this sign marks the end of a prohibition zone.
  • Remember that it must still be legal to travel on the relevant part of the road or pavement under the ordinary traffic rules.

Common misconceptions

  • !Thinking that the sign introduces a new prohibition on small electric motor vehicles.
  • !Interpreting the sign as meaning that all vehicle prohibitions in the area come to an end.
  • !Thinking that the sign also lifts rules or specific signs applying to bicycles, mopeds or cars.
