Advance diversion sign

Information signsSign no. 4.53OSR art. 55

What the sign says

The panel that opens a diversion: it shows the closed stretch and the alternative route, with the main places it passes through.

The exam trap

It is the only place where the whole route is visible. After that you follow the orange signs one by one — deciding on a shortcut means getting lost.

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.
