Ski stadium
When you see the sign
Sign 790.32 shows the way to or indicates the location of a ski stadium. Follow the arrow or directions if the ski stadium is your destination, and move into the correct lane well before any exit.
Rules
- The sign is a direction symbol used to show the way to or indicate the location of a ski stadium.
- The sign does not grant right of way or change the give-way requirement, speed limit or any other traffic rules.
- When the symbol appears on a direction sign or route marker, it must be read together with the arrow, lane information and any accompanying text.
- An exit to a ski stadium must be taken in accordance with the usual rules on signalling, road positioning and giving way.
Tips
- Look for the arrow and any distance shown on the direction sign, so that you do not turn off too early.
- Reduce your speed in a controlled manner and signal well in advance if the directions indicate that you should turn off.
- Be alert for increased traffic, pedestrians and skiers near the ski stadium, especially during events.
Common misconceptions
- Some people think the sign warns of skiers on the road, but it shows the way to or the location of a ski stadium.
- The sign is confused with an exit sign, but 790.32 is the destination symbol itself and can form part of several types of directional signing.
- Some assume that the sign introduces a lower speed limit, but speed is regulated by separate speed-limit signs and the conditions at the location.

Theory test tip
In the theory test, the trap may be to interpret the sign as a warning sign or a mandatory sign. The correct answer is that it is a location and direction symbol for a ski stadium, with no effect of its own on speed or the give-way requirement.
Did you know
The symbol makes it possible to show the way to a ski stadium without using much text, and is particularly useful in areas with winter sports and major skiing events.
