Art. 81 OSR · Measures to be Taken by Contractors

The authority or the Federal Roads Office (OFROU) shall provide directives to contractors concerning work site signage and will oversee their implementation.

Near work sites, contractors may only signal traffic regulations (e.g., traffic bans, speed limits, detours) if the authority or OFROU has given its approval and a formal decision has been made (Art. 107, para. 1).

Detours shall be announced in accordance with Art. 55.

Near work sites where work is interrupted for a significant period, signals shall be covered or removed if they are not necessary during this interruption of work.
