Bosnia and Herzegovina
1. Rockfall
A rockfall warning indicates a road section where rocks or stones may fall from a cliff, cutting or steep slope, or where fallen material may already be present on the road. The danger may affect the full carriageway and can appear suddenly.
Drivers should reduce speed, scan the road and slopes ahead, increase their following distance and remain prepared to stop. They should avoid unnecessary stopping in the exposed section and never attempt to move unstable rocks themselves.
Where might falling rocks be a hazard on roads in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
A falling-rocks warning identifies a slope-related hazard ahead. Watch for debris on the carriageway and obey any closure or traffic-control instruction. The warning does not guarantee a clear road or provide a fixed safe speed. Avoid stopping beneath an exposed slope unnecessarily.

Does a falling-rocks warning sign in Bosnia and Herzegovina impose a speed limit?
A falling-rocks sign is a hazard warning, not normally a numerical speed-limit sign. Follow any separate speed or closure signs, slow down to match visibility and conditions, and watch for material already on the road.
