Question 6710
Can variable message signs be used to give instructions that must be obeyed?
- No, they are merely informational.
- Yes.
- No, they can only be used to warn of possible hazards.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes.
Yes. A variable message sign can give you information, warn you of a hazard, make a recommendation, and also give you orders you must obey. In the image, the sign displays “OBLIGATORIO CADENAS” alongside the warning sign for ice or snow, and that order is just as binding as a fixed sign.
