Direction sign without destination

Information signsSign no. 4.51.1OSR art. 54a

What the sign says

It belongs to cycle, mountain-bike and wheeled-device route signposting: where naming a destination is unnecessary, the arrow alone marks the way.

The exam trap

These signs are not addressed to drivers: they mark a parallel network that crosses the road without following it.

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.
