End of kollektivfelt
The sign indicates that kollektivfelt for buses ends.
When you see the sign
The sign means that the bus lane reserved for public transport ends. Follow the lane markings and any new signs, and change lanes only when permitted and when it can be done without danger or unnecessary obstruction.
Rules
- The rules that apply to a bus lane end at the sign.
- Other vehicles may use the lane beyond the sign if no new signs or road markings restrict its use.
- The sign does not change the speed limit; any change must be indicated by a separate sign.
- The sign does not by itself give anyone priority. When changing lanes, the usual rules on giving way and exercising due care apply.
- You must still follow solid lines, lane arrows and other road markings where the lane ends.
Tips
- Look ahead to see whether the bus lane continues as an ordinary lane or physically ends.
- Check your mirrors and blind spot before changing lanes at or after the sign.
- Wait until you have passed the sign before entering the bus lane, and cross the road markings only if permitted.
- Be aware that buses may need to adjust their position when the lane ends.
Common misconceptions
- Assuming that the sign means the end of a motorway or motor traffic road. It only ends the bus lane.
- Assuming that the speed limit automatically changes when the bus lane ends.
- Entering the lane before the sign or crossing a solid line because the lane is about to become an ordinary lane.

Theory test tip
In the theory test, the sign may be confused with «Slutt på tungtrafikkfelt» or the signs that end a motorway and motor traffic road. Look for the bus symbol, and remember that the sign neither changes the speed limit nor automatically gives priority when changing lanes.
Did you know
The ending «.1» shows that this is the variant that ends the bus lane, corresponding to bus-lane sign 508.1. The sign only indicates that the bus-lane arrangement ends; the road markings and subsequent signs determine how the lane is used afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
Can a car drive in the lane beyond the sign?
Yes, if the lane continues as an ordinary lane and no signs or road markings indicate otherwise. You must have passed the sign and be able to change lanes legally and safely.
Do I have to give way to a bus when the bus lane ends?
The sign alone does not give the bus priority. Follow the rules for changing lanes or merging based on the road markings, but exercise due care and help ensure that traffic can proceed safely.
Does the speed limit increase when the bus lane ends?
No. The speed limit remains the same until it is changed by a separate speed-limit sign or by the rules that apply at the location.
Does the sign mean that the lane itself ends?
Not necessarily. It only means that the lane's status as a bus lane ends; the road markings show whether the lane continues, merges with another lane or ends.
