de losliggende stenen

Translation

loose chippings, loose stones

Chippings or gravel lying loose on the road surface, usually after a new wearing course has been laid. Annex 1 gives sign J25 the description loose stones. The layer acts like ball bearings under the tyres: grip drops, the stopping distance grows, and flying stones damage the glass and paint of anyone following too closely. Slowing down and increasing distance is the whole answer here.
