Art. 17 Ordinance of September 5, 1979, on Road Signage (OSR) - Exceptions
OSR; Chapitre 3 Signaux de prescription
Art. 17 OSR · Exceptions
Exceptions to the requirements indicated by signs (e.g., "Residents Allowed," "Allowed with Special Written Permission") shall be mentioned on a supplementary plate according to the provisions of Articles 63 to 65.
The use of supplementary plates, which make the signaled requirements more stringent, is only permitted if the regulation cannot be signaled otherwise.
When there is a traffic prohibition or a limitation on weight or dimensions, the inscription "Residents Allowed" means that it is permitted to deliver or pick up goods for the residents or on neighboring properties, that the residents and their visitors, as well as people performing work on neighboring properties, may make trips there, and that third parties may transport these persons there.
