Ski trail
The sign indicates that there is a ski trail at or near the road.
When you see the sign
Be aware that there is a cross-country ski trail on or near the road, and look out for skiers or pedestrians who may be moving around the area. Reduce your speed if visibility, road conditions or activity along the road make it necessary, but do not stop suddenly solely because of the sign.
Rules
- The sign indicates that there is a cross-country ski trail on or near the road.
- The sign does not give skiers a general right of way and does not necessarily mean that the ski trail crosses the road.
- The sign does not require drivers to stop or drive at a specific speed.
- Parking is permitted only where it is not prohibited, dangerous or an obstruction to traffic or access to the ski trail.
Tips
- Look out for entrances to car parks or the start of the trail, as vehicles and people may be entering or leaving the area.
- Pay extra attention to children, skiers and people carrying skis near the carriageway.
- Adjust your speed to winter conditions, especially if snowbanks or snowfall make it difficult to see trail users.
Common misconceptions
- Assuming that the sign warns that the ski trail always crosses the road.
- Assuming that the sign gives skiers right of way over vehicles.
- Mistaking the sign for an instruction to use skis or for a warning sign.

Hard
You see this sign, and a little farther ahead there are skiers at the roadside. Which assessment is correct?
