Traffic signs

Traffic rules

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.

Parking and stopping on shoulder prohibited.

During time shown ... workdays, ... saturdays, ... sundays and holidays.

1. For trucks

The supplementary sign for trucks is a traffic panel placed below a main traffic sign to indicate that the instruction, restriction, or permission applies specifically to trucks. It includes light trucks, heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), articulated lorries, and delivery trucks.

2. Cyclists allowed

A supplementary sign cyclists allowed indicates that cyclists (bicycle riders) are permitted to access or use the road, lane, or area, even if it is otherwise restricted. Access is allowed for cyclists, either as an exception to a restriction or as an indicated user group. May include text: “Cyclists allowed”, “Except bicycles”, “Bicycles permitted”.

3. Turning cyclists allowed

The supplementary sign turning cyclists allowed is used to indicate that cyclists are allowed to make a turn (usually at an intersection), even if that turn is prohibited for other traffic by the main sign. Cyclists are permitted to turn, typically right or left, despite a general turn prohibition for motor vehicles. May include text: “Cyclists allowed to turn”, “Except bicycles”.

4. Delivery vehicles allowed

The supplementary sign delivery vehicles allowed indicates that only vehicles used for deliveries are permitted to access, enter, or park in a specific road, lane, or area, despite any general restrictions shown on the main traffic sign. Delivery vehicles (typically commercial vehicles engaged in goods delivery) are excepted from the restriction above. This facilitates access for loading and unloading in restricted or pedestrian zones. May display text: “Delivery vehicles allowed”, “Except delivery vehicles”, “Only for delivery vehicles”.

5. Cyclists from both directions

A supplementary sign cyclists from both directions is placed below a main traffic sign to warn or inform drivers and road users that bicycles may be coming from both directions on a particular path or lane. This alerts drivers and pedestrians to be cautious of two-way bicycle traffic, especially on paths that might visually appear one-way.

6. Trams from both directions

A supplementary sign trams from both directions is placed below a main traffic sign to indicate that trams operate in both directions on the track or street ahead. This warns drivers and pedestrians to expect tram traffic coming from both sides, enhancing safety awareness.

7. Trains from both directions

A supplementary sign trains from both directions is placed below a main traffic sign to warn road users that trains operate on tracks in both directions at or near the location. This informs drivers and pedestrians to be alert for trains approaching from either direction, especially at level crossings.

8. Traffic in both directions

A supplementary sign traffic in both directions is placed below a main traffic sign to inform drivers that vehicles travel in both directions on the upcoming road or lane. This sign alerts drivers to adjust their speed and driving accordingly, especially if the preceding section was one-way or single-direction.

9. End of traffic in both directions

A supplementary sign end of traffic in both directions is placed below a main traffic sign to indicate that the section of road with two-way traffic is ending. This informs drivers that they no longer need to expect oncoming traffic on the next section.

10. Panel begin

A supplementary sign panel begin is placed below a main traffic sign to indicate that the effect, regulation, or zone marked by the main sign starts immediately at this point.
