Location Signs for Service Facilities and More Sign code: H28

The sign indicates the direction to a motorhome parking area

When You See This Sign

When you see the sign you are informed that a motorhome parking area is in the indicated direction. If you are driving a motorhome you can follow the directions but remember it is an information sign — slow down, look for supplementary plates and follow the site's instructions when you arrive.

Rules & Regulations

  • The sign is a location sign indicating the direction to a facility intended only for vehicles with living accommodation (motorhomes) and serves as information, not as a priority or mandatory traffic sign.
  • Only vehicles with permanent or integrated living accommodation (motorhomes) are intended to use these spaces; passenger cars without living accommodation or dedicated caravans/towed units are normally not intended to park here.
  • The sign's directional information may be supplemented with supplementary plates indicating distance or arrows — follow these to find the entrance to the motorhome parking area.
  • Parking rules, time limits, fees and local regulations apply at the facility and must be followed even if the sign indicates that the place is intended for motorhomes.

Tips for Drivers

  • Reduce speed and be prepared for an exit or braking — entrances to motorhome parking areas may have narrower lanes and slower-moving vehicles.
  • If you are driving a motorhome, check signs at the entrance for maximum length, height restrictions, fees and whether services such as electricity or waste-emptying facilities are available.
  • If you have a caravan (towed unit) or a campervan without fixed living accommodation, do not assume you may use the space without first checking local information.
  • Follow any supplementary plates showing distances or arrows — the sign indicates direction, not the exact location, so pay attention to the guidance.

Common Mistakes

  • !Assuming the sign automatically applies to caravans (a car towing a caravan) — the sign's main purpose is motorhomes with living accommodation.
  • !Interpreting the sign as a traffic regulation sign that gives priority or mandates a route — it does not.
  • !Assuming that overnight stays are always permitted and free just because the place is intended for motorhomes; local rules and fees may apply.
