Which sign means "Hotel" or "Motel" ?

Explanation

Sign number 3.

The "Hotel" or "Motel" sign falls within the group of service signs: a blue field with a white symbol in the middle. The symbol on this sign is a bed — in some versions the figure of a person lying on a bed. This sign is informative, not instructive; that is, it creates no restriction or obligation for the driver and merely announces the presence of accommodation along the route.

So as not to go wrong in the exam, keep the symbols of this group distinct, because the shape and colour of all service signs are identical and only the image inside them differs: a tent means a campsite, a caravan means a caravan site, a knife and fork mean a restaurant, a cup means a buffet or café, a bed means a hotel or motel, a spanner means a repair shop, a fuel pump symbol means a filling station, a cross or crescent means a medical centre, and a telephone handset means a communications point. Recognition in this class of question depends purely on knowing the symbol and there is no other shortcut.
