Road signs and markings
Every entry of this family in the handbook appendix, with its picture, handbook number, name and meaning.
Mandatory signs are round, with a white border on a blue background. They give a positive instruction instead of a restriction.
An instruction for one type of vehicle or manoeuvre is at the same time a ban on all other types. A mandatory direction sign means vehicles may be driven only in the direction of the arrow or arrows.
