Shape and colour

White rectangular plate with two black arrows pointing down-left and down-right: the sign applies on both sides of the post.

Where the sign stands

Directly under an E sign, on the same post, in the middle of the stretch the sign covers.

What the exam asks about this sign

The question is over which stretch the sign applies: the arrows pointing down-left and down-right say the sign works both ways, so the parking ban or parking facility applies to the left and right of the post along the road. A single arrow would mark the start or end. Trap: candidates read the arrows as 'driving direction'.
