Hospital Sign
The hospital sign (a white ‘H’) marks emergency medical services. Officially it is a service symbol within the brown Tourism guidance sub-class, rendered distinctively. It informs rather than commands. Related to the Fuel Sign and other service symbols.
Meaning
Indicates a hospital or emergency medical services ahead.
Required driver response
Note where to exit if medical help is needed; no command.
Question patterns
- “What does this sign tell you?” — recognition of guidance/information role.
- “Is this a command or just guidance?” — class disambiguation.
- Distractor trap: treating it as a standalone regulatory ‘blue info’ sign — it is officially a service symbol.
