Below a P-14a warning of dangerous bends, the first to the right, an S-800 plate displays “300 m”, without arrows. What does that plate indicate?

Correct answer

The distance to the start of the bends, with the first to the right.

It gives the distance from the sign to the start of the hazard: the bends begin 300 m ahead. P-14a warns of a succession of bends with the first to the right, not that every bend turns right. This S-800 does not give the length of the hazardous section. Below a narrowing warning it may indicate clear width, a different situation from this one.
