Overhead lane destination panel, motorway

Information signsSign no. 4.69OSR art. 86 · art. 87

What the sign says

Hung where the number of lanes increases, it gives each lane its destination. Beyond 200 metres from the apex, it is repeated there.

The exam trap

On stretches fitted with lane control signals, the downward arrow is omitted: the lights then say which lane is open.

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.
