A speed limit signed with a traffic sign (e.g. C43), and without zonal application, is valid until the next junction. This is not limited to outside villages (and neither is that so in The Netherlands, by the way). "Vanaf het verkeersbord tot het volgend kruispunt, verbod te rijden met een grotere snelheid dan deze die is aangeduid." "A partir du signal jusqu'au prochain carrefour, interdiction de circuler à une vitesse supérieure à celle qui est indiquée."
