Information signsSign no. 4.31OSR art. 51

White lettering on green: the way to reach a motorway or expressway.

Green does not mean you are there yet: it points the way to the entrance. Motorway rules begin only at the motorway sign itself.

The signs are the official depictions by the Federal Roads Office, from the annexes of the Signalling Ordinance (SR 741.21): official works, unprotected under Art. 5 of the Copyright Act. The explanations, by contrast, are written from federal law — never taken from a third-party catalogue.
