Art. 80 Ordinance of September 5, 1979, on Road Signage (OSR) - Work Zone Signage

Work zones located on the roadway or in its immediate vicinity shall be indicated by the "Road Works" sign (1.14), which shall be repeated near the work zone itself.

In work zones without obstacles on the roadway, it is permissible to use, to ensure better visual guidance of traffic, red and white striped devices (such as delineation posts, barrels) or cones painted in red and white or in orange.

In work zones with obstacles over 0.5 m in width on the roadway, red and white striped barriers (such as planks, tubular elements, scissor mesh, or other stable elements) shall be used.

The alternating-faced palettes used to control traffic where the roadway narrows display, on the face indicating mandatory stop, the "No Entry" sign (2.02) and, on the other face indicating free passage, a green disc with a white border.

The DETEC issues instructions concerning the placement of signs and markings, barriers, and other devices, their appearance, as well as the lighting of work zones.
