Junction number plate

Information signsSign no. 4.59OSR art. 56

Black symbol and number on white: every motorway junction carries its number, naming it unambiguously.

It is this number you give the emergency services to locate a crash: more reliable than a place name, several of which can sound alike.

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.
