English: A vehicle traveling on a floating ice cover, e.g. an ice road, may induce 'waves' in the ice cover, depending on ice thickness, traveling velocity and water depth. Here, a scale of vertical displacement is included which is based on satellite observations [Source: Fig. 11 of Babaei, H., van der Sanden, J., Short, N. and Barrette, P ...
A sign displaying the location of scattered farms and homesteads in a rural area of Iceland. Road signs in Iceland are visual communication devices placed along roads and highways throughout the country to provide information, warnings, and guidance to motorists and pedestrians.
When an ice road is part of a winter road, as is commonly the case, its design and construction is comprised within the overall road planning, i.e. in conjunction with the over-land segments. [2] Either way, factors that need to be addressed before construction include the following:
Road signs are divided into two categories – "vertical" (znaki pionowe) and "horizontal" (znaki poziome). The "vertical" signs (triangular, circular or rectangular) are placed on the side of the road or over the road. The "horizontal" ones are simply road markings painted on the carriageway, usually with white paint. Yellow paint is used in ...

For example, the Irish "rural speed limit" sign for local tertiary roads takes the appearance of that used to denote the end of all previously signed restrictions used elsewhere in Europe.
11th edition of the MUTCD, published December 2023. In the United States, road signs are, for the most part, standardized by federal regulations, most notably in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and its companion volume the Standard Highway Signs (SHS).
A winter road is a seasonal road only usable during the winter, i.e. it has to be re-built every year. This road typically runs over land and over frozen lakes, rivers, swamps, and sea ice . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Segments of a winter road that cross an expanse of floating ice are also referred to as an ice road or an ice bridge .
These signs are often temporary in nature and used to indicate road work (construction), poor roads, or temporary conditions ahead on the road including flagmen, uneven pavement, etc. (Note that some "high water" signs are posted to alert drivers of a flood-prone area and do not actually mean that there is a flooded section of road ahead.)
