Which sign marks the end of the 50 km/h maximum speed limit zone?

Explanation

Sign number 2; the same 50 km/h maximum speed sign struck through with diagonal lines.

The end of a restriction is shown by repeating the image of the restricting sign itself, but struck through diagonally and without the red colour. For a sign to mean "end of the 50 restriction", two conditions must hold at once: the same figure 50 must be repeated on it, and diagonal lines must show the cancellation. Keeping the figure is not incidental; several different restrictions may be in force at once along a route, and the end sign must make clear exactly which one is finishing.

The common trap in this question is the "end of all restrictions" sign: a circle with several diagonal lines and no figure at all, which lifts all previously imposed restrictions together. If there is no figure on the sign, it is not the answer to this question. A practical note for Armenia's roads: an explicit end sign is not always posted — a speed restriction can also end on reaching the next junction, with the sign marking the exit from a built-up area, or when a new speed sign with a different figure is posted. So the absence of a cancelling sign proves nothing on its own; take these three indications into account as well.
