End of no overtaking by lorries

Regulatory signsSign no. 2.56OSR art. 32

What the sign says

The barred sign gives lorries the right to overtake again. It changes nothing for other vehicles, which were never covered.

The exam trap

The end-of-all-restrictions sign does the same, lifting every signposted restriction at once: both turn up at the end of motorway roadworks.

The signs are the official depictions by the Federal Roads Office, from the annexes of the Signalling Ordinance (SR 741.21): official works, unprotected under Art. 5 of the Copyright Act. The explanations, by contrast, are written from federal law — never taken from a third-party catalogue.
