Right-hand bend

Warning signsSign no. 1.01OSR art. 4

What the sign says

A bend tight enough to require slowing down before entering. Braking happens in a straight line, before the curve, not inside it.

The exam trap

The sign lowers no limit: the section's maximum still applies, yet driving at it may already count as an unsuitable speed under the Road Traffic Act.

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.
