Warning signs
Outside built-up areas, warning signs, except A18, A35, A74, A75 and A92, are usually placed from 150m to 250m before the danger. If the warning signs are placed at a different distance, the distance is shown on a subpanel. Inside built-up areas, warning signs can be placed at a shorter distance from the danger, without the distance being shown on a subpanel.

Signs used on motorways
On motorways, direction signs have blue background when they lead to the ordinary road network, via an exit from the motorway, Directions have green background when they lead to the destination via the motorway(s).

Route designations
A box with a broken border line means the route is connecting to the route number in the box.

Service signs
New service signs can be designed when needed, eg. by request from a business. The permission to do this is found in §359 ¶2 in Executive Order 426 from 2023. A list of approved signs can be found on the Danish Road Directorate's (Vejdirektoratet) webpage. Signs planned, but not designed yet, are "electrician" and "real estate agent".
