- Emergency refuge area.
Emergency refuge area. The emergency bay is a place to seek refuge in an emergency, not an ordinary parking or rest area.
How to recognise the sign
Read the image, arrows and any text on sign L14; they distinguish this version within the information category.
Difference from L15 — Emergency lay-by with phone
L14: Emergency refuge area. L15: Emergency refuge area with an emergency telephone and fire extinguisher. Read the separate application of L15 too; similar appearance does not mean identical meaning.
