Information signsSign no. 4.09.1OSR art. 46

What the sign says

The road has no through route for vehicles but leads onto a footpath or cycle track, shown by symbols added to the sign.

The exam trap

A plain dead-end sign announces no way out at all: driving in means turning round or reversing back out.

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.
