Tractor and Class II Motor Vehicles
The symbol indicates tractors and Class II motor vehicles
When You See This Sign
When you see the sign it means that the road or lane is reserved for tractors and Class II motorized agricultural vehicles. If you are driving another vehicle you should not use the marked section; if you are driving a permitted tractor or motorized vehicle, use the road cautiously and obey the traffic rules.
Rules & Regulations
- The sign indicates that the road or lane is intended for tractors and Class II motorized agricultural vehicles — only these vehicles may use the marked section.
- Other vehicles must not enter the road or lane while the sign applies; violations are subject to enforcement under traffic regulations.
- Drivers of tractors and Class II motorized agricultural vehicles must follow the normal traffic rules (right-of-way rules, speed limits and signaling requirements) even when the sign permits passage.
- The sign may be supplemented with an additional plate indicating validity times, distance or exceptions — always follow both the main sign and any supplementary plates.
Tips for Drivers
- If you are driving another type of vehicle: plan an alternative route or stop and let permitted vehicles use the road; do not try to drive past the sign.
- When approaching a road marked with this sign, be prepared for slow-moving vehicles, wide implements or unexpected turns by tractors and motorized implements.
- If you are driving a tractor or a Class II motorized agricultural vehicle: use proper lighting and warning markings, keep a low speed and be extra cautious when overtaking and at intersections.
- Pay attention to any supplementary plates under the sign — they may indicate distances, times or other restrictions that affect how the sign should be interpreted in practice.
Common Mistakes
- Believing that the sign forbids tractors instead of indicating which vehicles are permitted — the sign shows which vehicles may use the road, not which are prohibited.
- Confusing the sign with a warning sign; S6 is a symbol sign that clearly indicates the correct vehicle type, not just a general warning.
- Assuming that all types of work vehicles are covered — Class I motorized implements and other work vehicles may have a different status and are not automatically covered by this sign.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I allowed to drive a car where the sign is posted?

Does the sign apply to both directions of travel?
The sign applies to the road or lane where it is posted and continues to apply until an end sign or other regulation changes it. Check the road layout and any supplementary signs to know exactly how far the rule applies.
