Art. 82 Ordinance of September 5, 1979, on Road Signage (OSR) - Delineation Devices

Delineation devices highlight the route layout clearly and indicate permanent obstacles located within 1 meter of the roadway edge. When a route's layout is easily recognizable, it does not need to be indicated laterally.

Delineation devices are presented as follows: a. the front surfaces of obstacles (e.g., protruding house corners, tunnel portal faces) shall be marked with black and white stripes angled towards the roadway; b. the front surfaces of obstacles (e.g., side walls, curb edges, tunnel walls) shall be marked with vertical black and white stripes or a horizontal band with alternating fields; the tips of guiding arrows shall be white on a black background; c. poles, masts, trees, etc. shall be equipped with horizontal black and white stripes; d. obstacles located above the roadway shall be marked with vertical black and white stripes.

When roadway edges are marked along their entire length by reflectors, the right marker will bear a white rectangular reflector, mounted vertically (6.30), and the left marker will have two round reflectors, colored white and placed one above the other (6.31). On roads with separated traffic lanes and on roads without opposing traffic, any potential left marker will have a vertical white reflector.

Island markers will bear horizontal or vertical white and black or yellow and black stripes.

Traffic separators may be used to divide the roadway on highways or semi-highways.

Yellow folding arrows in illuminated version can be used on moving or stationary vehicles on the roadway.

DETEC issues instructions on the type, execution, and arrangement of delineation devices.
