Road Signs
Traffic signs and road markings are silent speakers to the road users. Every road user should know the marking and signs on the road and the meaning thereof.
Many different traffic signs are to be seen on the roads. They give advance information about road conditions ahead. Road markings also give orders, warnings, or guidance to drivers or riders. Learn the meaning of these signs and markings and look out for them when on the road. You will not then be surprised by a bend, a one-way street, or a junction ahead. Good drivers and riders are always prepared.
Road Traffic Signs
Road signs are classified under the three heads:
Mandatory Signs:
These signs are used to inform road users of certain laws and regulations to provide safety and free flow of traffic. These include all signs which give notice of special obligation, prohibition, or restrictions with which the road user must comply. The violation of these signs is a legal offence.
Cautionary Signs:
These signs are used to warn the road users of the existence of certain hazardous conditions either on or adjacent to the roadway, so that the motorists are cautious and take the desired action.
Informatory Signs:
These signs are used to guide road users along routes, inform them about destinations and distances, identify points of geographical and historical interest, and provide other information that will make the road travel easier, safe, and pleasant.
