Traffic signs in Yuunli and Bùngöwhe can be classified into four categories:

  • Warning signs are white triangles with a thick red edge and black icons
    • Right-of-way (yield) signs are triangles within a red-edge circle, so they can be distinguished from a great distance
  • Prohibition signs are yellow diamonds with a black edge and black icons
  • Mandatory signs are blue circles with a white edge and white icons
  • Direction signs are green rectangles with white lettering for major highways, and white rectangles with black lettering for other roads

This is exit number 246, leading to Hempik-South and Yuich as well as Nofero (via Oipach highway 49) and Kuach (via the KH expressway). The speed limit on the exit ramp is 20 m/s, which is roughly 70 km/h or 45 mph.

The next exit (number 247) is Feilapeak. If you continue on the KH expressway (Oipach highway 2), you will get to Tippiz, the Lipreiz Mountains (LI) expressway junction, and finally to Tiepl.
You can find such signs 2, 1 and ½ km before an exit.

distances4sv.th.jpg Highway direction sign (Chirachi)
This sign on Poichbiezn highway 1 shows the distances to the next major cities: Chechn, Keabut, Zabbant, Flankia and Caguenai, including two-letter codes for provinces and IDU countries for those cities outside Poichbiezn.

Highway number markers

The 17 toll expressways have red markers indicating both the letter code of the highway (in the Poirih alphabet) and the direction:

All highways have (additional) provincial numbers. The green signs feature the number, the two-letter code of the province (Poirih alphabet), and the local name of the province (Latin alphabet):
nz-south-provincial.jpg Oipach (OP) highway #2


In Chirachi, highways only have provincial numbers. The lettering is similar to Mich-Inzl (see above), but the design is different:
