The entrances to the RER are identified by posts carrying a sign RER in white on a blue background.

To reach the platforms you must pass through the checkpoints. On the RER, your ticket is checked on the way in and on the way out. Each line is identified by it colour, number and directions.

In the street, the metro entrance is always shown by a sign reading Metro, Metropolitain or just M.
