The meaning of the prohibition or restriction signs begins at the sign. In the absence of signalling that specifies the length of the sector to which the regulation applies or of signs that announce the end of the prohibition or restriction, the meaning of these signs ends at the nearest intersection.

For example, the action area of the sign “No stopping” begins at the sign and, if installed alone, stopping is prohibited up to the corner of the first intersection, regardless of the length of the sector. It can be accompanied by additional panels: the panel “Arrow with the tip upwards” indicates the beginning of the action area, the panel “Arrow with two tips, one upwards and one downwards” confirms the action area, and the panel “Arrow with the tip downwards” signifies the end of the action area of the sign. Also, the sign can be accompanied by an additional panel “Arrow with the tip upwards” which signifies the beginning of the action area and specifies, in meters, the action distance of the sign.

Thus, in the absence of signalling that specifies the length of the regulated sector or of a sign that announces the end of the prohibition or restriction, the meaning of these signs ends at the nearest intersection.

The correct answer is: C

[...]
(6) The meaning of the prohibition or restriction signs begins at the sign. In the absence of signalling that specifies the length of the sector to which the regulation applies or of signs that announce the end of the prohibition or restriction, the meaning of these signs ends in the nearest intersection. When the prohibition or restriction signs are installed together with the sign that announces the entry into a locality, their meaning is valid on the respective road until encountering the sign “Exit from locality”, except in places where other signs provide otherwise.
