This road traffic sign is displayed for your lane. What must you be aware of?

This traffic sign indicates a minimum speed limit of 60 km/h for the lane where it is displayed. According to German traffic rules:

1. You must drive at least 60 km/h in this lane if road and traffic conditions allow. This means you should not drive slower than this minimum speed unless it is necessary for safety reasons.

2. Only vehicles capable of and permitted to drive at speeds of at least 60 km/h may use this lane. If your vehicle cannot reach or is not allowed to reach that speed, you are not allowed to use this lane.

This rule ensures smooth and safe traffic flow by preventing vehicles that move significantly slower from using certain lanes, typically on faster roads like highways. It also means the sign does not set a maximum speed limit; driving faster than 60 km/h is allowed if the general speed limits and conditions permit.
