Fishing spot
The sign indicates that there is a fishing spot at or near the road.
When you see the sign
The sign indicates that there is a fishing spot at or near the road, and you do not need to stop. If you want to use the fishing spot, follow any direction or distance information and turn off safely.
Rules
- The sign is a service sign indicating that there is a fishing spot at or near the road.
- The sign does not require you to stop and does not change either the speed limit or the duty to give way.
- You must park in a legal and suitable place; the sign does not permit you to stop or park in breach of other signs or traffic regulations.
- The sign does not in itself give you the right to fish. You must follow local fishing regulations and obtain a fishing licence or other permission where required.
Tips
- Look for an arrow, distance indication or other information showing where the fishing spot is located.
- Signal well in advance and reduce your speed in a controlled manner if you are going to turn off towards the fishing spot.
- Check local regulations, fishing licences and any closed-season provisions before you start fishing.
Common misconceptions
- Some people think the sign means that parking along the road is permitted, but parking must still comply with the usual rules and other signs.
- Some interpret the sign as general permission to fish, but a fishing licence or the landowner's permission may be required.
- Some people think the sign warns of a danger related to fish or water, but it is simply information about a service facility.

Theory test tip
In the theory test, the common trap is to interpret the service sign as imposing an obligation or granting permission. Remember that the symbol indicates a fishing spot nearby, but gives neither the right to park nor automatic permission to fish.
Did you know
The sign is used both on inland roads and coastal roads to direct road users to fishing opportunities that are facilitated or easily accessible. It can be combined with information about direction or distance.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to stop when I see the sign?
No, the sign simply informs you that there is a fishing spot at or near the road. You can continue driving if you are not going to use the facility.
Can I park next to the sign?
Not necessarily. You must use a legal parking space and follow other signs, road markings and the rules on stopping and parking.
Does the sign mean that fishing is free?
No, the sign only indicates where there is a fishing spot. Local regulations may require a fishing licence, a fee or permission from the person holding the fishing rights.
Does the sign change the speed limit?
No, the service sign does not change the speed limit. You must nevertheless adjust your speed if you are going to turn off or if conditions at the turn-off require it.
