What the Switch headlamps off sign means
This sign marks the END of the requirement to drive with headlamps on. From here, you no longer have to keep your headlamps switched on for this section.
What you must do
You may switch your headlamps off — unless conditions such as dusk, rain, fog or a tunnel still require them by law. The sign doesn't tell you to switch your headlights off—it simply means they're no longer compulsory
