World Heritage
The sign indicates that there is a World Heritage site at or near the road.
When you see the sign
The sign indicates that there is a World Heritage site at or near the road. Consider whether you need to follow any direction or distance information, but continue normally if you are not visiting the site.
Rules
- The sign is a service sign providing information about a World Heritage site at or near the road.
- The sign does not require you to stop, turn off the road or reduce your speed.
- Any supplementary signs or other directional signs may indicate the direction or distance to the World Heritage site.
- You may only stop or park where this is permitted; the sign does not give you any special right to stop along the road.
Tips
- Look for an arrow, distance indication or further signage if you want to visit the site.
- Plan your turn-off early, and avoid braking sharply when you see the sign.
- Do not assume that the World Heritage site itself is right next to the sign; it may be some distance away.
- Use a legal parking space or designated rest area if you want to stop and get your bearings.
Common misconceptions
- Some people think the sign indicates a museum or tourist information office, but it refers to a World Heritage site at or near the road.
- Some interpret the sign as an instruction to turn off or stop, even though it only provides information.
- Some people think the sign automatically gives them access to parking at the site, but normal parking rules and other signage still apply.

Theory test tip
The trap on the theory test is often confusing this service sign with symbols for radio, emergency telephone, workshop or fuel. Choose the answer stating that there is a World Heritage site at or near the road, and remember that the sign does not impose any requirement.
Did you know
World Heritage refers to cultural or natural heritage inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List. In Norway, the sign may be used, among other places, on roads leading towards World Heritage areas, but this does not necessarily mean that there is a visitor centre where the sign is located.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to reduce my speed when I see the sign?
No, the sign does not set a speed limit or require you to drive more slowly. However, you must adjust your speed if you are going to turn off the road or if conditions otherwise require it.
Does the sign mean that the World Heritage site is located right there?
No, it may be at or near the road. The direction and distance may be shown on supplementary signs or by other directional signage.
Can I park by the sign to take a closer look at the site?
Only if stopping or parking is permitted there. The service sign does not cancel a parking prohibition or give you any special right to stop.
Is this a warning sign or a mandatory sign?
No, it is a service sign. It provides information about a facility or destination at or near the road.
