What the sign says

The sign marks a first-aid post. It belongs to the blue series of service signs, alongside telephone, filling station and restaurant.

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.
