Overview
- This week, TN reported that a white sign showing two cars with four diagonal lines signals the end of a prior no‑passing restriction on single‑lane roads.
- La Gaceta described a yellow preventive sign of two mirrored trapezoids with irregular lines as a warning that a movable or drawbridge may interrupt the carriageway ahead.
- Experts quoted in the coverage say drivers should not overtake immediately on seeing an end‑of‑restriction sign without confirming no oncoming traffic, good visibility, and permissive road markings.
- When approaching a drawbridge sign drivers should slow down, obey lights and barriers, keep a safe distance, and never try to speed across as the bridge begins to move.
- Both reports point out that Argentina's Law 24.449 standardizes more than 150 traffic signs and that teaching these rare signals is meant to reduce human errors—like misjudged overtakes—that account for most road crashes.
