Correct answer
You must pass on one of the sides indicated by the two arrows.
R-401c indicates compulsory passage on either side of the refuge, island or obstacle: the two arrows show the permitted alternatives. It does not require passing on both sides at once or mark sides where passage is prohibited or parking allowed. Choose a side in accordance with other rules and safety.
