FYI, the official categories are:

- category 1: signals, barriers over full road width
- category 2: signals, barriers only partly over the road
- category 3: signals, no barriers
- category 4: traffic sign (the red-white cross), no signals, no barriers
- category 5: no traffic sign, no signals, no barriers
