Example
Fuel sign where the type is indicated by text on the sign, here CNG.
When you see the sign
The sign indicates that a CNG fuelling facility is located at or near the road. If your vehicle requires CNG, follow any arrow or other directions and reduce your speed safely before the exit; otherwise, continue as normal.
Rules
- Skilt 610.2 is a service sign indicating that CNG is available at or near the road.
- CNG stands for compressed natural gas and must not be confused with LPG, which is a different type of gaseous fuel.
- The sign does not require you to stop and does not change the speed limit, right-of-way rules or any other traffic regulations.
- You may only fill up with CNG if the vehicle is approved for this fuel, and you must follow the safety instructions at the fuelling station.
Tips
- Check the owner's manual or the fuel filler flap to confirm that the vehicle is designed for CNG before filling up.
- Look for an arrow, distance indication or other directions so that you have time to move into the correct position before the exit.
- Reduce your speed gradually and use your turn signal when turning off towards the facility.
- Do not assume that a CNG facility also offers petrol, diesel, LPG or rapid charging.
Common misconceptions
- Some people confuse CNG with LPG, but the fuels have different properties, tanks and filling systems.
- Some people think the sign indicates a standard petrol and diesel station, even though the text CNG identifies a specific type of fuel.
- Some people interpret the service sign as an instruction to leave the road, but the sign only provides information about an available service.

Theory test tip
Look closely at the text in the fuel symbol. In the theory test, the trap may be choosing LPG or conventional fuel, but the text CNG specifically indicates a facility for compressed natural gas.
Did you know
CNG is short for “compressed natural gas”, meaning compressed natural gas. The same filling system can also be used for compressed biogas when the vehicle and facility are designed for it.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to stop when I see the sign?
No, this is a service sign, not a mandatory sign. You only stop if you need CNG and can enter the facility safely and legally.
Is CNG the same as LPG?
No. CNG is compressed natural gas, whereas LPG is liquefied petroleum gas, and they use different storage and filling systems.
Does the sign also mean that petrol and diesel are available?
Not necessarily. The sign only indicates that CNG is available; other types of fuel must be indicated separately.
Can all cars be filled with CNG?
No, the vehicle must be designed or approved for CNG. The wrong fuel or filling system can be dangerous and damage the vehicle.
