The Emergency Call Pillar is a specific traffic sign used in Germany, typically found along highways and on roadways in remote areas. This sign indicates the locations of emergency call points that are commonly marked by blue pillars.

When you see an Emergency Call Pillar, it serves two key purposes:

1. **Immediate Access to Help**: If you encounter an emergency while on the road (such as a breakdown, accident, or other urgent situations), you can use this pillar to call for help. Each pillar usually has a phone symbol and may provide instructions for use.

2. **Safety Indicator**: The presence of these pillars also indicates that you are in a monitored area where assistance can be summoned quickly. They are usually placed at regular intervals along highways to ensure that drivers have access to emergency services.

Using an Emergency Call Pillar typically involves pressing a button that connects you directly to emergency services. It's important to remember where these pillars are located when driving, as they can be vital in case of an emergency.
