How to Read Road Signs?

[VanAlana]

Road signs are divided into three categories: guide signs, warning signs, and regulatory signs. Each category represents different meanings. The interpretation of these three types of road signs is as follows: Guide Signs: Guide signs are used to indicate the boundaries of cities, towns, and villages, the direction and distance to destinations, highway entrances and exits, and the locations of famous landmarks. They feature a blue (or green) background with white symbols. These signs are most useful when drivers are in unfamiliar areas, as they help with orientation and navigation. Warning Signs: Warning signs alert drivers and pedestrians to potential hazards. They have a yellow background with black borders and black symbols, and their shape is an upward-pointing equilateral triangle. These signs are highly visible and are typically placed in areas with complex traffic conditions or in suburban regions. Regulatory Signs: Regulatory signs direct vehicles and pedestrians to follow specific directions and routes. They have a blue background with white symbols and come in circular, rectangular, or square shapes. These signs are very common on roads, guiding drivers to the correct driving direction and lanes to avoid traffic violations.
