フランデレン
1. 路面の浮き砂利
路面の浮き砂利は、道路工事や表面処理後などに路面へ残る小石や砂利です。タイヤグリップを低下させ、制動距離を増やし、通過車両によって飛び上がってフロントガラスや他車を傷つけることがあります。減速し、車間距離を増やし、急な加速、制動、操舵を避け、他車のタイヤから石が飛ぶ可能性がある場合はさらに間隔を取ります。
Is there a traffic sign for loose chippings in Belgium?
Yes. Belgium uses warning sign A17 for the projection of loose chippings. It warns drivers of a road section where stones or gravel may be thrown up by passing vehicles.
What should you do when you see the loose-chippings sign in Belgium?
Reduce speed where necessary, increase your following distance and avoid sudden manoeuvres. Drivers must adapt their speed to the road and traffic conditions, including a surface covered with loose stones.
Where can the loose-chippings warning sign be used in Belgium?
The A17 sign can be used where there is a risk of gravel or small stones being projected from the road surface, for example after certain roadworks or resurfacing treatments.
Can loose chippings damage another vehicle in Belgium?
Yes. Loose stones can be thrown up by tyres and damage windscreens, lights or bodywork. Keeping extra distance from other vehicles can reduce the risk.
Will Belgium’s new Road Code still use the loose-chippings warning sign?
Yes. The new Code of the Public Road retains A17 for the projection of loose chippings.
