Wrong Way

Wrong Way Indicator symbol. This symbol is first a simple road sign, at least in Europe, and second, a look ahead. The symbol is a Wrong Way or No Entry sign, and is being tested as an instrument panel symbol as part of a road sign identification technology by Mercedes-Benz. It remains unavailable and not part of any production vehicle.

  • Before continuing, are you sure this is your symbol?? If yes, then read on below.
  • Otherwise you can return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!

The system uses a forward facing camera in conjunction with data from the vehicle’s navigation system. A driver about to pass one of the signs would hear beeps and see the symbol. The text in German – the sign is not in use in North America – shown below the red symbol would be included and translates loosely to Wrong Way.

Wouldn’t the words “wrong way” spoken aloud in any language be more effective here than more beeps?

Remember that only proper service and repair procedures will ensure the safe and reliable operation of your car. In addition, proper safety procedures and precautions, such as the  use of safety goggles, the right tools and the equipment should be followed at all times to eliminate the possibility of personal injury or improper service which could damage the vehicle or compromise its safety.

Technology is always changing and what is current and accurate today may be literally out-of-date and inaccurate tomorrow. And when it comes to the current state of flux in the auto industry, nothing is more true.
