What the sign says

The sign marks the location of an emergency exit and sits right next to it. It designates the door, not the direction.

The exam trap

In a tunnel you leave on foot by the nearest exit and abandon the vehicle: smoke travels faster than anyone can drive back out.

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.
