Town sign

A town sign marks the beginning and the end of a town or a village and in most cases it is installed at in- and outgoing streets of the village territory. On the one hand, it gives the information on the name of a village and in many countries it has merely that function. But in some countries, it is also an essential part of the traffic law as it for example defines speed limit within the village territory.
