informaatiomerkki

Informaatiomerkki, often translated as information sign or notice sign, is a type of traffic sign used to convey information to road users. Unlike regulatory signs that command an action or warning signs that alert to potential hazards, informational signs provide helpful guidance. They can indicate services available, points of interest, or geographical information.

Examples of informaatiomerkki include signs for hospitals, gas stations, restaurants, rest areas, and campsites. They can also direct travelers to specific towns, cities, or tourist attractions. These signs are typically rectangular or square and often feature a blue background with white text and symbols, although variations exist depending on the country and specific purpose. The primary goal is to enhance the driver's experience by making essential services and destinations easily identifiable and accessible, contributing to smoother traffic flow and increased convenience. They play a crucial role in modern road infrastructure by supporting navigation and informing travelers about their surroundings.
