## SIGNS 

Traffic signs tell you about traffic rules, special hazards, where you are, how to get where you are going and where services are available. 

The shape and color of traffic signs give indica- tions to the type of information they provide: 

REGULATION SIGNS  normally are white rectan- gles with black letters or symbols, but some are different shapes, and some can use red letters or symbols. 

WARNING SIGNS  normally are yellow and dia- mond-shaped, with black letters or symbols. 

DESTINATION SIGNS  are green with white letters and symbols. 

SERVICE SIGNS  are blue with white letters and symbols. 

Know the signs shown below and what they indicate. You will be asked about them on your written test. 

Here are descriptions of common traffic signs and what they indicate.

stop before you enter the crosswalk. (See “Stop Crosswalk Lines” under the “Pavement Markings” section of this chapter.) If there is no stop line or crosswalk, you must stop before you enter the intersection, at the point nearest the intersection that gives you a view of traffic on the intersecting roadway. 

## Yield Sign 

COLOR: Red and white, with red letters. 

MEANING: Decrease speed as you reach the intersec- 

tion. Prepare to stop and yield the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians in or heading toward the intersection. You must come to a full stop at a YIELD sign if traffic conditions require it. When you approach a YIELD sign, check carefully for traffic, and be prepared to stop. 

## Other Regulation Signs 

COLOR: White, with black and/ or red letters or symbols 

MEANING: 

These signs give information about rules for traffic direction, lane use, turns, speed, parking and other special requirements. 

Some regulation signs have a red circle with a slash over a symbol. This indicates that an action, like a right turn, is not allowed or that some vehicles are restricted from the road. Rectangular white signs with black or red letters or symbols are indications to be alert for special rules.
