Escape Road Ahead Marking Sign
Road marking warning that an escape road (emergency exit for runaway vehicles) is ahead. Only use the escape road if your brakes have failed.
What Kind of Sign Is This?
Information signs give directions, distances and services. They tell you where things are rather than what you must do, so they are never legally binding.
