Interchange number plate

Information signsSign no. 4.59.1OSR art. 56

What the sign says

Black symbol and number on white, as for junctions, but for a point where two motorways split or meet.

The exam trap

Junctions and interchanges are not signposted alike: a junction links the motorway to the ordinary network, an interchange links two motorways to each other.

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.
