Why is the national-road feeder sign important on the theory test?

What is the national-road feeder route number sign?

The sign shows a number (e.g. "7") on a green background with white text and a dashed white border. The number is the national road number you are being directed toward.

What does the dashed white border on this sign mean?

The dashed white border indicates that you are driving on a feeder road that leads to the signed national road, but that you have not yet entered the national road itself.

When do you encounter this sign?

On approach roads – when you come from smaller roads and are heading to the national road.
After exits – to confirm that you are now following the feeder route toward the Rv number.
Along connecting stretches – where the main road is some distance away.

How do you use this sign when driving?

Follow the signs with the number and dashed border to reach the national road. When you see an ordinary national road sign with a solid border, you know you are on the national road itself.

Why is the national-road feeder sign important?

The sign ensures that traffic is guided safely and efficiently to the main national road. It prevents drivers from going the wrong way and gives a good overview of the route toward the national road network.
