Motorway signs
End of motorway regulations, including the national speed limit
What it means
The crossed-out motorway symbol means the motorway ends here, and motorway rules end with it. From this point you can meet junctions, roundabouts, cyclists, slow vehicles and people on foot again. Look for the speed limit sign that follows, because the motorway limit no longer applies.
Highway Code Rule 274 — read it on GOV.UK
