Supplementary plates for road signs

They clarify the main sign by specifying a distance, section length, road layout, hazard, vehicle group or exception.

T

How can you recognise this group?

They are usually smaller rectangular boards mounted below a sign. Their codes begin with T, but on the road their visual connection to the main sign matters most.

How do they work on the road?

A plate is not decorative. It may substantially change the answer by showing the priority-road layout, giving a distance or exempting particular vehicles.

  • Connect a plate only with the sign directly above it.
  • Distinguish distance to a place from the length of a section.
  • On T-6, the thick line represents the priority road.
  • Check vehicle symbols and text specifying exceptions or affected users.
