This combination of signs is telling you a lot of things. The red N9 part is telling you that you are on a route national, the two green signs are telling you the direction to two large towns/cities, the little blue part of the sign to Rion is telling you that you’ll get on the autoroute to get to it. The bottom white sign is telling you that Gannat is small local town/village. And of course the distances are in kilometers and you don’t know if you are going east, west, north or south.
