visibility is poor, e.g. due to snow, rain, fog
or spray
R
there is glare, e.g. from the sun being low in
the sky
R
there is dirt, ice or misting on the wind-
screen in the vicinity of the camera
R
traffic signs are hard to detect (dirt, ice,
snow)
R
the traffic signs are insufficiently lit at night
R
signs are ambiguous (e.g. traffic signs on
construction sites or in adjacent lanes)
R
the information in the digital street map of
the navigation system is incorrect or out of
date
