Correct answer
Avoid producing excessive noise.
Avoid producing noise and take the precautions appropriate near a medical centre. S-23 indicates the location of a hospital; it does not itself impose a 50 km/h limit or remove the possibility of a horn warning to avoid a possible crash, under article 110. Observe applicable limits and use the horn only when justified.
