Sign S-117: A youth hostel

What it means

The S-117 sign informs of a youth hostel. It guides toward that type of accommodation, useful for travellers or groups, but it does not change traffic rules or authorise manoeuvres contrary to signs, markings, or priorities. It usually appears on tourist routes, accesses to towns, natural areas, recreational areas, or service panels. When you see it, if you are looking for that destination prepare the manoeuvre in time and follow later local signs; if not, remain alert to possible entrances and pedestrians. In the test they usually classify it as a service or tourist sign and distinguish it from a hotel, campsite, or unmarked refuge.
