Information signsSign no. 4.12OSR art. 47

What the sign says

A way under the road that pedestrians must use and vehicles may not. The symbol may be mirrored to suit the site.

The exam trap

Where such a subway exists, pedestrians must use it: crossing the road alongside is not mere carelessness but an offence.

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.
