Bosnia and Herzegovina
1. Intersection direction sign
An intersection direction sign shows the destinations and routes available at an approaching or current intersection. Arrows, road numbers, symbols and place names help drivers choose the correct direction and, where indicated, the correct traffic lane.
The sign provides route guidance but does not normally establish priority, permission to turn or a speed limit. Drivers must still obey traffic lights, regulatory signs, lane arrows, road markings and local traffic rules.
What is the purpose of an intersection direction sign in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
It identifies destinations, routes or directions at an upcoming junction. On routes around Bosnian and Herzegovinian towns, the road’s route number or destination may appear beside an arrow or junction diagram. This is navigation information, not a grant of priority.

Does a junction direction sign decide which vehicle goes first in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
No. Traffic signals, Stop or Give Way signs and the legally applicable priority rules determine who must yield. A diagram showing the road layout is not, by itself, a priority instruction.

What should you do if you are in the wrong lane for a signed destination in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Continue in a legal and safe direction and find another route. Do not stop abruptly, reverse into a junction or cross a solid line to recover a missed turning. Obey any mandatory lane-direction arrows separately from destination advice.
