I guess the one with the car on fire means that going down that road could cause your car to instantly ignite - or is it just going to overheat in hot weather. There are so many others that are a puzzle too so is there a website which gives them all? I'm frazzled by it all, Trisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I recommend you buy a copy of the Code book that learners have to study and clue yourself up on the different signs and regulations for the correct answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_87300 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 go to http://www.code-route.com/telechargement.htmthen click on the link signaux routiers to open or download a pdf file of road signs and markings. It's in French but has text describing the meaning of each sign. How up to date it is I do not know. You should also be able to go directly to the page from here by clicking on the link shown above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Avery Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Mike beat me to it but also have a look at:http://www.americansinfrance.net/Driving/SelectedRoadSigns.cfm. Not brilliant but it covers most of the common ones.The one with the car on fire is not about cars it seems,it applies to vehicles carrying inflammable liquids and erxplosives, some additional signs underneath can impose restrictions on such vehicles. I always thought it meant risk of overheating as it is usually seen on the peripherique in Paris where there are queues!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be looking out for the others Cheers to you, Trisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
