Truck escape lane ahead (marking)

What it means

To indicate where especially drivers of heavy vehicles who become aware that a vehicle’s brakes became defective, can drive such a vehicle of the road and it will be stopped by the gravel section ahead. Only drive into this arrestor bed when your brakes fail.

Om aan te dui waar veral bestuurders van swaar voertuie wat bewus word dat 'n voertuig se remme gebreke ontwikkel het, so 'n voertuig van die pad af kan ry en dit deur die gruisgedeelte vorentoe gestop sal word. Ry slegs in hierdie keerbed in wanneer jou remme faal.

Where you’ll see it

On any rural road especially in mountainous areas.

Op enige plattelandse pad, veral in bergagtige gebiede.
