Hostel
The sign indicates that a hostel is available at or near the road.
When you see the sign
The sign indicates that there is a youth hostel at or near the road, but it does not require you to stop. If you are heading there, follow any arrow or distance information and prepare to turn off safely without braking sharply.
Rules
- Sign 624 is a service sign indicating that there is a youth hostel at or near the road.
- The sign provides information and does not require you to stop or turn into the youth hostel.
- Follow any arrow, place name or distance information to find the correct turn-off.
- The sign does not give you the right to park outside marked or otherwise legal parking spaces.
Tips
- Look for an arrow or distance information so that you have time to position yourself correctly before the turn-off.
- Use your turn signal well in advance if you intend to turn towards the youth hostel.
- Do not stop at the sign itself to read or plan your route; find a legal and safe place if you need to check the route.
Common misconceptions
- Some people think the sign indicates an ordinary hotel, but it specifically refers to a youth hostel.
- Some interpret the sign as requiring them to turn off or stop, even though it only provides service information.
- Some assume that legal parking is automatically available at the sign, but the parking rules apply as usual.

- AI may park there only if the ordinary parking rules permit it.

- CI may always park there because the service sign grants permission to park.
- DI may always park there if the stay lasts less than ten minutes.
Theory test tip
In the theory test, the trap may be confusing a service sign with a mandatory or informative sign that requires a specific action. The correct interpretation is that the sign provides information about a nearby youth hostel without requiring you to stop.
Did you know
Youth hostels are included among the service signs because the sign helps travellers find accommodation at or near the road. A direction or distance may be given alongside the sign to guide road users to the location.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to stop when I see the sign?
No, the sign only provides information that there is a youth hostel at or near the road. You should stop or turn off only if you wish to use the facility and can do so legally and safely.
Does the sign mean that the youth hostel is right next to the sign?
Not necessarily. The youth hostel may be at the roadside or nearby, and any arrow or distance information indicates where you should drive.
Can I park by the sign?
The sign itself does not grant permission to park. You must use a legal parking space and follow any local signs.
