Subsidiary signs

What do subsidiary signs look like?

Subsidiary signs are square with a white background and black text. What's special about subsidiary signs is that they only apply when used together with a main sign. The subsidiary sign clarifies what the main sign means and where it applies.

Is the bus subsidiary sign important for the theory test and the driving test?

This sign is not very important for the theory test or the driving test for class B. As long as you know that buses are a separate category and are not covered by symbols such as passenger car, you will get far. It is still part of the curriculum, but it is not something you need to focus much on.

What does the bus subsidiary sign mean?

The "bus" subsidiary sign is used to show that a rule or information on the main sign applies specifically to buses. This symbol is often placed under signs such as parking signs or prohibition signs to make clear which vehicles the rules apply to. For example, it can be used to reserve parking spaces for buses or to prohibit buses in a particular area. The symbol makes it easy for drivers to understand which rules apply to their vehicle.

If the subsidiary sign is used together with the text "Except", it means that buses are not covered by the rules on the main sign. This can be useful in situations where buses are given special permissions, such as driving in areas with prohibitions for other vehicles.
