Attraction
For an attraction of particularly great significance, the symbol may be replaced by a symbol adapted to the attraction.
When you see the sign
This sign indicates a tourist attraction at or near the road. You do not need to stop or turn off, but if you want to visit the site, you must read any supplementary signs and adjust your speed in good time without obstructing other traffic.
Rules
- This is a service sign indicating that there is a tourist attraction at or near the road.
- For an attraction of particular importance, the standard symbol may be replaced by a symbol specially adapted to the attraction.
- The sign does not require you to stop, turn off or visit the site.
- Any supplementary signs may show the distance, direction or other information about how to find the attraction.
- The sign does not, in itself, permit you to park or drive into areas where other signs or regulations restrict access.
Tips
- Look for an arrow or distance indication on a supplementary sign before deciding to turn off.
- If you want to visit the attraction, reduce your speed gradually and signal well in advance of the turn-off.
- Do not brake sharply if you notice the sign late; instead, continue to a place where you can turn around or choose another route legally and safely.
- Do not confuse this sign with service signs for emergency assistance, repair facilities or radio; this sign indicates a visitor attraction, not an emergency service.
Common misconceptions
- Some people think the sign requires the driver to turn off, but it only provides information about a tourist attraction.
- Some assume that the sign always has the same symbol, even though attractions of particular importance may have their own specially adapted symbol.
- Some interpret the sign as a guarantee that parking is available at the site, but parking facilities must be indicated by separate signs.

Theory test tip
In the theory test, the trap may be confusing this sign with other service signs. Remember that it indicates a visitor attraction, not an emergency telephone, repair facility, radio information or another service.
Did you know
Attractions of particular importance may have their own motif on the sign instead of the standard symbol. This makes it possible to identify a distinctive cultural monument, building or other visitor attraction directly on the sign.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to turn off when I see the sign?
No, the sign only provides information about a tourist attraction. You can continue along the road if you do not wish to visit the site.
Does the sign mean that the attraction is right next to the road?
Not necessarily. The distance and direction may be indicated on a supplementary sign or by other directional signs, so you must read all the signs.
Can the symbol on the sign look different from the standard symbol?
Yes, for an attraction of particular importance, the symbol may be replaced by a motif adapted to the site. The sign still has the same overall meaning.
Can I park by the sign to visit the site?
Not automatically. You must use a legal parking space and follow parking signs, road markings and other traffic regulations.
