Correct answer
it is prohibited to exceed the indicated speed.
The pictured R-301 sets a maximum speed of 50 km/h: do not exceed it from the sign onwards, while still observing lower applicable limits or conditions requiring a slower speed. It is not an end-of-restriction sign or a compulsory minimum speed. A 50 km/h limit does not require driving at exactly that speed.
