Traffic routing panel

Information signsSign no. 4.52OSR art. 54

What the sign says

A diagram showing how traffic is routed through a complex area, where a plain arrow would not explain it.

The exam trap

A diagram is read from a stop or from far off, not at the last moment: that is exactly when a busy panel becomes a distraction.

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.
