What do straight ahead and one-way mean?
2 Answers
Straight ahead and one-way mean the following: 1. One-way: Usually at the entrance of a road, it means the entire section only allows vehicles to travel in one direction. 2. Straight ahead: Usually at the exit of a road, it means vehicles are only allowed to go straight on this lane. Relevant introduction about traffic signs is as follows: 1. Definition of traffic signs: Road facilities that use text or symbols to convey guidance, restrictions, warnings or directional information. Also known as road signs or road traffic signs. In traffic signs, safety is generally prioritized, and setting up eye-catching, clear and bright traffic signs is an important measure to implement traffic management and ensure road traffic safety and smoothness. 2. There are many types of traffic signs: They can be classified in various ways as: main signs and auxiliary signs; movable signs and fixed signs; illuminated signs, luminous signs and reflective signs; as well as variable message signs that reflect changes in the driving environment.
When I drive to and from work, I often see straight-ahead and one-way signs, which are part of the traffic rules. Straight-ahead means you can only drive forward without turning, such as at an intersection with a straight-ahead arrow sign—you can't turn left or right, only go straight. One-way, on the other hand, means the road allows traffic in only one direction; vehicles can only drive in that direction and cannot make U-turns or reverse, commonly seen on narrow streets or in city centers. I remember once when I was navigating the city, I overlooked a one-way sign and almost drove the wrong way, nearly getting fined—what a close call! Now, I’ve gotten into the habit of carefully checking signs, and navigation apps also remind me of these. Actually, understanding these signs helps avoid accidents and saves time, especially during rush hour. If everyone follows them, road safety improves.
