Definition of T6

This supplementary plate defines the time periods during which the instruction on the sign above is valid. It can show hours, days, and special conditions, and it may combine time with other requirements. Different number styles indicate different day categories, such as weekdays, the day before Sundays and public holidays, and Sundays and public holidays. If the stated period crosses midnight, the time after midnight applies to the following day. If a specific day or weekday is stated, the rule applies on that day regardless of whether it is a weekday or holiday. You must read the time plate carefully because it can completely change whether a restriction is active.

What is the purpose of the T6 Time Indication road sign?

The T6 Time Indication sign is a supplementary plate used with other traffic signs. Its sole purpose is to define the specific time periods or days during which the main sign's instruction, warning, or prohibition is valid. It tells you precisely when to follow the main sign's rule and when you can disregard it.

How do I interpret the times and days shown on a T6 plate?

You need to read the T6 plate very carefully. It might show specific hours (e.g., 07:00-17:00), weekdays (e.g., 'Mån-Fre'), or combinations. Different number styles can indicate weekdays, Sundays, and holidays. If a time period crosses midnight, the latter part applies to the next day.

What happens if a T6 plate shows a time like '22:00-06:00'?

If a T6 plate indicates a time period that crosses midnight, such as 22:00 to 06:00, the rule applies from 10 PM on one day until 6 AM the following day. This means the restriction is active during those late-night and early-morning hours.

What are common mistakes learners make with the T6 Time Indication sign?

A very common mistake is assuming the main sign's rule applies 24/7 when a time plate is present. Learners might also misinterpret the day category indicated by the formatting (e.g., confusing weekdays with holidays) or forget that times crossing midnight shift to the next calendar day. Always check the T6 plate against the current day and time.

Do I follow the main sign's rule outside of the times shown on the T6 plate?

No, the T6 Time Indication sign means the rule on the main sign is only active during the stated period. Outside of these specified times or days, the main sign's instruction does not apply, and you should follow the normal traffic rules or other signs that might be present.
