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.
11. For buses
The supplementary sign for buses is a traffic panel placed below a main sign to indicate that the rule, restriction, or permission applies specifically to buses. A bus is a motor vehicle designed for carrying multiple passengers, typically 9 or more seats including the driver.

The supplementary sign for low-emission vehicles is a traffic panel placed below a main traffic sign to indicate that the rule, restriction, or permission applies specifically to low-emission vehicles—typically for environmental protection purposes.

This includes: Eelectric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), hydrogen/fuel cell vehicles and some Euro 6+ compliant petrol/diesel cars.
