Pedestrian crossing (warning)

Warning signsSign no. 1.22OSR art. 11

What the sign says

Warning sign for a poorly visible pedestrian crossing. It prepares you; it does not mark the crossing itself.

The exam trap

Do not confuse the red triangle, which warns, with the blue square, which marks the crossing. Before a crossing, overtaking and stopping are forbidden.

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.
