Traffic Signs, Signals, Road Markings



Traffic signs are devices placed along, beside, or above a highway, roadway, pathway, or other routes to guide, warn and regulate the flow of traffic, including motor vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, equestrians and other travelers.



Traffic signs are used for three different purposes: to regulate traffic, movement,or parking, to warn of potential dangers or changes in road conditions and to provide information and guidance.



Traffic signs have shapes that denote specific meaning. The shape of the traffic sign allows you to quickly determine whether you are being presented with a regulation, a warning, or information or guidance and sometimes the specific meaning of the sign.



Thisshape is used exclusively for stop signs. A driver should be able to immediately recognize that an octagon-shaped sign means STOP.





This shape is used exclusively for yield signs. A driver should be able to immediately recognize that an equilateral triangle shaped sign pointed down means YIELD to other vehicles and pedestrians.

A driver should be able to immediately recognize that asign in the shape of a vertical rectangle indicates a regulatory or warning action you must obey. This shape is used for recreational area guide signs (e.g., rest area and tourist information ahead) in some states.



Various shapes are used for road marker signs (e.g., interstate highway routes and state highway routes).
