Information signs
An information sign is a traffic sign that provides useful guidance or clarification to road users without imposing rules or warnings. These signs inform drivers about things like parking zones, directions, facilities, road layouts, or the start and end of built-up areas. Their purpose is to help drivers navigate confidently by giving clear, practical information that improves orientation, comfort, and overall traffic flow.

8. Maximum speed of a lane
This traffic sign indicates the maximum speed of a lane. The maximum speed of a lane refers to the highest legal speed limit allowed for vehicles traveling in a specific lane on a road or motorway. Some lanes (like fast lanes or overtaking lanes) may have higher speed limits. Other lanes (e.g., slow lanes, bus lanes, or truck lanes) may have lower speed limits or restrictions. Speed limits are usually indicated by road signs, sometimes combined with lane markings or digital displays
