Explanation
Sign S-260: advance indication of lanes and permitted directions
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sign **S-260** indicates the **only permitted directions** at the **next junction** (intersection, interchange or fork) for **users travelling in each lane**.
- Each **arrow** marks the **mandatory direction** for the lane over which it is placed.
- Above the arrows that indicate that you **remain on the same road**, there is a **box** with the **number or name of that road**, to confirm that you are continuing on the current road.
- Its use is reserved for **special situations**, for example:
- When the **solid line** separating lanes **does not mean** that one of them must necessarily turn off onto another road.
- At **interchanges or forks** between **two dual carriageways or motorways** with **heavy traffic on both**, to clearly organise which lane to use according to the destination.
In summary, this sign **regulates the use of lanes** by indicating, in advance, **which direction each one may take** at the next decision point.
