What these signs are used for

R300 Series Reservation Signs are used to allocate specific lanes, parking areas, or road sections to defined user groups.

How they are visually identified

Materials and design proportions

Designs follow fixed layouts and proportions defined in the Manual, with reflective signfaces to maintain visibility in all lighting conditions.
