End of motorway regulations, including the national speed limit

A blue rectangle with the motorway 'M' icon crossed by a diagonal line. Tells you the road has stopped being a motorway — motorway-specific rules (no learner drivers, no L-plates, no pedestrians, etc.) no longer apply, and the national speed limit reverts to that for a single or dual carriageway. Watch for speed limit signs immediately after.

Where you'll see this sign

End of every motorway, where motorways become A roads, and at motorway exit slip roads onto trunk roads.
