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.

1. For disabled people

The supplementary sign for disabled people is a panel placed below a main traffic sign to indicate that the sign's regulation applies specifically to persons with disabilities. It clarifies that the main sign is intended only for disabled people, often those with an official disability permit.

2. For blind people

The supplementary sign for blind people is a traffic sign panel placed under a main sign to indicate that the sign's warning or regulation specifically concerns blind or visually impaired pedestrians. It alerts road users that the situation or rule affects blind people, prompting extra caution or compliance with special accessibility measures.

3. For personal transporters

The supplementary sign for personal transporters is a traffic panel placed beneath a main sign to indicate that the regulation or instruction applies specifically to personal transporters. It limits or defines the main traffic sign’s scope to users of personal transporters, such as: segways, electric self-balancing scooters or similar low-speed, single-person electric mobility devices. It improves clarity for all road users and enhances safety for emerging forms of micromobility.

4. For cyclists

The supplementary sign for cyclists is a panel placed below a main traffic sign to indicate that the rule, warning, or instruction applies specifically to cyclists. It limits the scope of the main sign only to bicycle users, ensuring that other road users are not affected unless separately indicated. Example: No entry + for cyclists = cyclists are not allowed to enter, but other traffic may proceed.

5. For motorcycles

The supplementary sign for motorcycles is a traffic panel placed below a main sign to indicate that the rule, prohibition, or warning applies specifically to motorcycles. This sign targets motorcyclists, helping to regulate their behavior, warn of specific hazards, or grant/restrict access in certain areas. A motorcycle is a two-wheeled motor vehicle (with or without a sidecar), legally distinct from: mopeds, speed pedelecs, cars or trucks.

6. For cars

The supplementary sign for cars is a panel placed below a main traffic sign to indicate that the instruction, prohibition, or warning applies specifically to passenger cars. A car in this context usually refers to: Standard passenger vehicles (sedans, hatchbacks, SUVs). Not including: motorcycles, trucks, buses, mopeds, or bicycles.

7. For cars with trailer

The supplementary sign for cars with trailer is a panel placed below a main traffic sign to indicate that the regulation, restriction, or instruction applies specifically to passenger cars towing a trailer. Such as: luggage trailers, small utility trailers, camping caravans or boat trailers. This does not include: trucks with trailers or articulated lorries.

8. For electric cars

The supplementary sign for electric cars is a traffic panel placed below a main sign to indicate that the rule, restriction, or facility applies specifically to electric vehicles (EVs) powered solely by electricity.

9. For tractors

The supplementary sign for tractors is a traffic panel placed below a main sign to indicate that the regulation, restriction, or instruction applies specifically to tractors.

10. For trucks
