Priority signsSign no. 3.01OSR art. 36 al. 2

What the sign says

A full stop at the line is compulsory, wheels motionless, then you give way to all traffic on the priority road.

The exam trap

Slowing right down is not stopping: the car must be motionless, even if the road is visibly clear. It is the most penalised fault in the practical test.

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.
