Correct answer
The distance to the beginning of the danger.
S-800 gives the distance from the sign to the beginning of the hazard or instruction on the sign it accompanies. Marked 150 m, it announces that the start is that distance ahead. It does not give the affected section’s length or distance to the end of the hazard. The hazard type depends on the main sign: this isolated panel does not identify it.
