E34 · Special regulation signs

Emergency stopping place

På dansk Nødplads

What it means

Identifies a place for an emergency stop. The illustrated older sign design remains permitted until 31 December 2029.

Your action

Use it if an emergency forces you to stop; look for the separate plate indicating an emergency phone and fire extinguisher.

Common mistake

An emergency place is not an ordinary rest or parking area, and equipment is not guaranteed by E34 alone.
