Pass obstacle on the left

Regulatory signsSign no. 2.35OSR art. 24

What the sign says

The obstacle the sign stands in front of must be passed on the left. It is an order about your line, not a direction at a junction.

The exam trap

Passing on the left borrows space from oncoming traffic: the sign grants no priority, so give way if the road is not clear.

The signs are the official depictions by the Federal Roads Office, from the annexes of the Signalling Ordinance (SR 741.21): official works, unprotected under Art. 5 of the Copyright Act. The explanations, by contrast, are written from federal law — never taken from a third-party catalogue.
