The "Mobile Bridge" road sign, identified as Figure II 20 of the Highway Code, is a crucial element for accident prevention and traffic management in specific areas. This triangular sign alerts motorists to the imminent presence of a maneuverable or movable bridge, such as a drawbridge or a structure that opens to allow the transit of boats. Its primary function is to prepare road users for potential slowdowns, stops or waiting, ensuring greater caution and attention.
This sign is made of iron sheet with a thickness of 10/10 mm (1 mm), ensuring robustness and durability. Its triangular shape, typical of danger signs, has a side of 90 cm, a standard size ideal for permanent installations on non-urban roads. The Class 1 (RA1) reflective film ensures optimal visibility even in low light or at night, effectively reflecting the light from vehicle headlights. The design features a white background, a red border and a black pictogram depicting a movable bridge with the water section below, easily recognizable by its visual clarity.
The installation of the "Movable Bridge" signal is flexible and safe. It can be mounted on galvanized metal poles using special collars or through welded or riveted rear channels, ensuring stability and resistance to atmospheric agents. As a rule, it is placed in a clearly visible position and at an adequate distance before the bridge, to provide motorists with the necessary time to react. It can be supplemented with distance panels or flashing lights to reinforce the warning and further increase safety in the vicinity of the bridge. Its function is to warn in advance of a possible temporary blockage of vehicular traffic due to the opening of the bridge, preventing sudden braking and dangerous situations.
The "Mobile Bridge" signal is used in various areas where the presence of such structures is common. It is indispensable in port areas, along navigable canals and in industrial areas with drawbridges or mobile bridges. It is also crucial on any road section where movable bridges are regulated by traffic lights or barriers, providing a clear and unambiguous warning to road users.
