Road signal of danger

The panels of danger (permanent) are triangular (upwards pointing triangle) on red board. The temporary panels are at yellow bottom. For the sight of a panel of danger, it is necessary to slow down imperatively.

The panels are established before the danger: in absence of sign specifying the distance, they are located 50 meters before the danger in agglomeration, and in open country, they are located 150 meters before the danger.
