Roads open to public traffic are sometimes affected by obstacles or dangers whose existence is temporary.
Temporary signage is intended to inform and guide the user to ensure his safety and that of road staff and promote the flow of traffic .
It is in the form of devices to report such temporary traffic conditions.
The principles governing road signs apply to temporary signaling .
However, the specificity of the temporary signage based on the following additional principles :
- Adaptation principle ( temporary signage must be adapted to circumstances dictate )
- Principle of consistency (can give different instructions to those of permanent signaling )
- Valuation principle ( must inform the user , influence their behavior )
- Principles of concentration and clarity (to avoid overload and loss of readability)
Such a road sign is said to belong to the SP category .
À savoir
