Motorway number
Direction and position signs

Motorway number

Identifies the motorway by its route number.

This marker identifies a motorway by number. On direction signs, it helps drivers recognise the motorway their route follows or joins.

Czechia’s IS16a is a rectangular red panel with a white motorway number and border. It can appear within a larger direction sign.

How it looks in each country

Official sign in each country; the code is its number in the national rules. Signs that come in two directions show the left and the right version.
