3. Scoring points
When completing a road, check if there are signposts next to it. If that is the case, in addition to the points for the road you also score points for each signpost pointing in the right direction.

For a signpost to be pointing in the right direction, the following requirements have to be fulfilled:

The course of the road on the next tile has to follow the direction indicated by the signpost (left turn, right turn or straight ahead).

The roads must not end on the first tile after the signpost.

In this example, 5 signposts point in the right direction. The rules for the
roundabout are as follows: If a signpost points in one of the two directions
of the roundabout, it is showing the correct course of the road (here: the blue 1
and red 2 arrow).
Three arrows are not correct. Two are pointing in the wrong direction 3, 4
and/or the road already ends on the next tile 4,5.
You complete your road by placing the tile and
score 9 points.
For the 5 correct signposts, which include all 3
different types, you score (5x3) 15 extra points.

Game end and final scoring

You may score:

Only 1 type of signpost: 1 point for each correct signpost.

2 different types of signposts: 2 points for each correct signpost.

All 3 different types of signposts: 3 points for each correct signpost.
Signposts, that do not show the correct course of the road, do not score points.
At the end of the game you receive 1 point for each signpost on your roads, pointing in the right direction.
The different types of signposts do not matter at this point.
How to count the signposts:

Count the signposts showing the correct course of the road on the road you want to score.

Now count how many different types of signposts are pointing in the right direction on your road.
