Narrative

SignalizationMiscellaneous Signs

The following are signs that would be placed underneath other signs. These little signs modify or restrict the larger sign above them.

"Remember". This means whatever restriction is defined by the sign above it was already in effect and they're just reminding you. This is used often for speed limits. If you see a speed limit sign with RAPPEL below it, the speed limit is not changing at the sign because it was already in effect. "In rainy weather". Often used below a sign warning of a slippery road. "Factory exit". Simply warns you of the presence of a factory; does not imply anything about WHEN the factory operates or changes shift or anything. Warns of a high-voltage line 6m or lower above the road. Could also warn that the train tracks you're about to cross are electrified.
