Hello Guys,
Wednesday i was traveling to family in germany, and all of a sudden i came across the end of all restrictions sign, but i never saw a speedlimit-sign, but my navigation told me it was 100 km/h max (i just though it was tripping and thought the gps bugged a bit and the navigation thought i was on a country road) but then i came across the sign below, which made me think i missed a sign. But i cant find any speedlimit on either sides on the road when i follow the road through google streetview.
There was a passing restriction, but when that doesnt count anymore it always shows the truck and car in the white sign, and the all white sign is always speedlimit+ another restriction. Can anyone help me?

It is common that this sign is repeated to remind people that there wasn’t any restriction.
I traveled across entire Germany many times, and often found this case.
Never got a problem, maybe it’s just a reminder.

It means that all restrictions are lifted, but it doesn’t mean that there necessarily was a speed limit in place.
It might refer back to [this](https://maps.app.goo.gl/eFFThi33ZR9c6bxt9?g_st=ac) minimum distance sign for trucks, that only applied to the bridge you just finished crossing.
The bridge before the interchange has a restriction for trucks.
It also looks freshly renovated, so it might have been a limitation in place in the past which is now gone. Which would also explain your navigation system messing up, there might have been a 100km/h zone across the bridge.
I’d say you are wrong. The passing limit is also affected by this sign, so passing is now allowed again. The truck and car in the “end sign” means specifically this is now allowed again. But for example a speed limit could still be active. So this sign also exists with the former speed limit for example. So this sign just allows everything that was limited before. Could be speed, passing by trucks or passing from everyone.
The sign on Streetview is probably left over from the maintenance on the bridge in Mechernich.
It was finished in Summer of 2023 and the Streetview photo is from September 2023.
I usually exit there to go to my parents or other relatives in the area, so I barely ever see the signs behind the exit that you might’ve seen.
