What it means
The S-50e sign informs of lanes reserved for traffic according to the signed speed. It presents a lane layout in which each traffic space is associated with the indicated speed, so you must read the whole sign before positioning yourself. It usually appears on multi-lane carriageways where vehicles are separated according to travel pace or stretch conditions. When you see it, choose your lane in advance, respect the corresponding indication, and avoid late changes that surprise other users. In the test they often check that you do not confuse it with a single speed for the whole carriageway.
