What it means
The S-960 sign informs of an emergency telephone. It indicates the location or direction of a specific means to request help in the event of an incident, breakdown, accident, or risk situation, especially on roads where communicating position quickly may be necessary. It usually appears in tunnels, motorways, dual carriageways, safety areas, lay-bys, or road facilities. When you see it, remember its location and, if you need to use it, stop only where safe and permitted. In the test they often distinguish it from an ordinary telephone and from other emergency signs, focusing on its help-request purpose.
