Motorway signs
Entrance to motorway service area, or similar facility within the length of a motorway where motorway regulations cease to apply
What it means
You meet this going into the services, not at the end of your journey. Motorway rules stop applying inside the service area even though you have not left the motorway network. Treat it as a car park from here: low speed, pedestrians everywhere, cars reversing out of spaces.
