## SIGNS 

## “Traffic signs speak a special kind of language to the driver” 

Many fatal crashes occur when a driver does not heed a clearly visible traffic sign. Traffic signs are driving aids — obey them. 

## HOW SIGNS CAN HELP YOU BE A BETTER DRIVER 

1. They warn of conditions ahead that require caution or extra alertness for safe operation of the vehicle. 

2. They guide drivers to their destination by identifying the route. 

3. They inform drivers of regulations. 

## HOW YOU CAN BECOME A BETTER “SIGN” DRIVER 

1. Study the sign section of this manual and associate the meaning of each sign with the behavior that is expected of you as a driver. 

2. Look for signs when you drive. Look far ahead. Move your eyes. It is easy for a “stare” driver to miss traffic signs. 

3. Obey all signs. The result of good sign observance is doing the right thing at the right time.

## REGULATORY SIGN • black or red on white 

1. Regulatory signs indicate an instruction for the driver that must be understood and obeyed. State statute, regulation, or local ordinance backs them. Violation of the instructions can result in issuance of a traffic citation to the violator. 

2. Obey the law indicated. 

## STOP SIGN • white on red 

1. Make a complete stop before entering intersection or at stop line. Stop in back of crosswalk. Look both right and left for traffic and pedestrians. 

2. Yield right-of-way. 

## YIELD SIGN • red and white 

1. Slow down as required when approaching this sign. 

2. Look both left and right, and yield to traffic and pedestrians. 

3. Stop required when necessary to avoid pedestrian or traffic on protected street.
