Art. 67 OSR · Binding Nature of Signs and Instructions

Road users are required to comply with the signs and instructions given: a. by uniformed police officers and auxiliary police; b. by military personnel tasked with directing traffic and uniformed staff of fire services and civil defense; c. by school patrols, company employees, and cadets assigned to direct traffic when they wear the insignia of their function; d. by staff at road construction sites; e. by customs officers near customs offices and, for customs controls, in the area close to the border, as well as by duly identified sales and control personnel employed by customs offices in the execution of the March 19, 2010, law on highway vignettes; f. by operating personnel near railway tracks; g. by drivers of public vehicles in line traffic on mountain postal roads (Art. 38, para. 3, OCR); h. by members of private traffic services equipped with distinctive signs; i. by personnel of convoy vehicles indicated as special vehicles and special transports.

Signs and instructions given by other persons must be observed when they are intended to prevent a danger or to regulate traffic in a difficult situation.

To have traffic regulated by school patrols, by company employees or cadets (para. 1, letter c), by private traffic services (para. 1, letter h), or by personnel of convoy vehicles indicated (para. 1, letter i), it is necessary to obtain authorization from the cantonal police authority. This authority gives the necessary orders; it may delegate its competence to local police authorities.
