What are regulatory signs?

[StSkylar]

Regulatory signs are a type of primary traffic sign used to instruct vehicles and pedestrians to travel in specified directions or locations. These signs feature a blue background with white symbols and come in circular, rectangular, or square shapes. They indicate mandatory turning directions (left or right) for all vehicles and are positioned appropriately before intersections where such turns are required. When special regulations apply regarding time or vehicle type, auxiliary signs or additional symbols are used for clarification. Guide signs provide road users with information about directions, destinations, distances, intersecting roads, notable locations, and service areas, ensuring efficient, smooth, and accurate navigation. These signs serve as crucial information carriers for proper traffic guidance and function as essential safety facilities for maintaining smooth road traffic flow.
