French Road signs

[BJ]

Can anyone tell me what this sign as seen in France means.

A white image of a car on a square blue background.

It apears on dual carriageways

could be warning of single carriageway section!

or - semi autoroute

BJ, It means it is a motorway or autoroute section, the same as our A1(M). The same rules apply as for an autoroute e.g no mopeds under 50cc, no learner drivers etc.

That sums it up well, I got a rollicking from a couple of French Bike Oficers as I wizzed down such a road on the moped to the Hypermarket a year or two back.

Didn't have clue what they were on about, but guessed I was not meant to be on that road as they rode shotgun until I turned off.

Thanks for that. We have been driving in France for about 15 years, but I have never known what this sign meant and couldn't find it in any of the books & atlases which show road signs!

As soon as I saw the topic heading I knew which sign you were talking about - I did find it on the internet.
