The sign, the white circle next to the full line, doesn't exist here yet, but you'll see it quite often in Austria

The sign you see in the photo, the white circle next to the solid line, is often found on Austrian roads.

What do these circles on the road mean, as research shows, this sign has contributed a lot to traffic safety?


Sometimes it's good when a traffic sign confuses drivers because it forces them to slow down.

This traffic sign comes from Austria. It is a sign that has been used in this country since 2019 and that gives good results.

In the sections where it is used, the number of motorcycle accidents has decreased by 80 percent, Telegrafi reports.

The mark is a series of circles drawn in non-skid reflective white ink. They are located along the full line and are intended to warn the motorcyclist that there is a narrow turning radius in the marked turns, that is, that the turn closes suddenly and is sharp.

Also, it is intended that motorcyclists do not cross into the opposite lane in dangerous places when turning. The circles also warn that they are approaching the middle of the road.

Signs are placed in areas where a large number of accidents have occurred.

Scotland, Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg, Italy and Spain are considering introducing the same sign. /Telegraph/
