Additional signs
An additional sign is a traffic sign placed directly below another sign to provide extra information or clarify how the main sign should be understood. It can specify conditions such as distance, time periods, road users affected, directions, or special circumstances. Additional signs do not create new rules by themselves but modify, limit, or explain the meaning of the sign above them so drivers can apply the rule correctly in that specific situation.
1. Disabled allowed
A supplementary sign disabled allowed (often with a wheelchair symbol ♿) is used beneath a main traffic sign to indicate an exception or specific permission for persons with disabilities—typically those with a valid disabled parking permit. May include text: “Disabled allowed”, “Except disabled”, Disabled only”

2. Tractors allowed
The supplementary sign tractors allowed indicates that tractors (agricultural or forestry vehicles) are permitted to access, enter, or use a road, path, or area, even if other vehicles are restricted by the main sign. This allows tractors to pass, usually for agricultural, forestry, or maintenance purposes. May include text: “Tractors allowed”, “Except tractors”, “Only for agricultural vehicles”.

3. Charging electric vehicles allowed
The supplementary sign charging electric vehicles allowed indicates that electric vehicles (EVs) are permitted to park and charge at a designated location, even if parking or stopping is otherwise restricted. Electric vehicles are allowed to stop and use charging facilities in this area, exempting them from general parking restrictions. This sign supports EV users by providing designated charging spots with special access. May display text: “Charging electric vehicles allowed”, “Except electric vehicles while charging”, “Only for charging EVs”.
