If you are driving your car and you come across the traffic sign shown in the image, how many car lengths of distance must you keep from the vehicle in front of you?
Signage: Vertical signs
Explanation
Minimum distance between vehicles on roads with risk of rear-end collisions
Sign **S-992a** indicates, on a section of **single carriageway road** or **multilane road** where **rear-end collisions** are frequent, the **minimum distance** that must be maintained from the vehicle travelling in front.
This distance is not expressed in metres, but in **number of chevron road markings** (V-shaped or chevron-shaped figures painted on the carriageway).
The sign indicates **how many chevrons** must remain **between your vehicle and the one in front of you** in order to maintain a **sufficient safety gap** and reduce the risk of rear-end collision.
