Correct answer
The distance over which the prohibition applies in the direction of the arrow.
The distance over which the prohibition applies in the arrow’s direction: for this S-821, 10 metres to the left. The current catalogue distinguishes the right-pointing S-820 and left-pointing S-821. It does not give the distance to the start of the prohibition or an extent on both sides; the latter is S-830. The sign above the panel determines the particular prohibition.
