On conventional or multi-lane roads, the sign shows the compulsory minimum distance between vehicles on stretches where rear-end collisions are frequent. To make compliance easier, the carriageway is usually marked with chevron symbols that the driver must use as a reference, keeping the minimum number set by the sign between their vehicle and the one in front. This helps ensure traffic safety and flow.
