Road Sign
This element is a generic road sign.
| Is an equipment | ❌ |
| Can have equipment | ❌ |
This element must be used with 2D scene context.
This can be used to represent different road signs, specifying the type of sign.

Road Sign Orientation
In Virtual Bench, road sign orientation plays a key role in determining visibility and proper assignment to drivers. If a sign is not correctly oriented, it might be unreadable or misinterpreted as intended for another road user.
To verify a sign ’s orientation, zoom in and observe the mounting bar behind it. The flat side of the bar, as seen from above, indicates where the sign is displayed.
The orientation of a road sign can be adjusted using the Z-axis angle parameter, measured in degrees. This allows fine-tuning of the sign’s alignment to match intended visibility and positioning.
