Pedestrian footbridge

Information signsSign no. 4.13OSR art. 47

What the sign says

The overhead counterpart of the subway: a structure above the road, reserved for pedestrians and closed to vehicles.

The exam trap

Where the sign is not next to the structure, it must give the direction and distance: it then points the way rather than marking the spot.

Study topic

Vulnerable road users

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.
