Traffic signs

A traffic sign is a standardized visual symbol placed along roads to guide, warn, or regulate drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. These signs provide essential information about road conditions, rules, directions, and potential hazards, helping to ensure safety and smooth traffic flow. They come in various shapes and colors—such as triangular warning signs, circular prohibitory or mandatory signs, and rectangular information signs—each designed for quick recognition and clear understanding.

Warning for a double curve, first left then right.

Warning for a road narrowing on the left.

Warning for a railroad crossing without barriers.

Warning for a railroad crossing with 1 railway.

Warning for a road with two-way traffic.

Direction prohibited (road with one-way traffic).

Vehicles higher than indicated prohibited.

Vehicles heavier than indicated prohibited.

Vehicles wider than indicated prohibited.

Driving straight ahead or turning right mandatory.

Mandatory shared path for pedestrians and cyclists.

Detour for vehicles that are not allowed to pass.

Overview of the lanes and their direction.

1. Warning for crossing deer

This traffic sign indicates a warning for crossing deer. It alerts drivers to the potential presence of deer or other wild animals crossing the road. It is essential in areas where wildlife-vehicle collisions are common. Wild deer may suddenly cross the road, especially at dawn or dusk. Drivers should: reduce speed, stay alert, watch both sides of the road. Typical Locations: forests, national parks, wildlife corridors or countryside highways.

2. Warning for a bad road surface

This traffic sign indicates a warning for a bad road surface. It alerts drivers to poor or uneven road conditions ahead. Drivers should slow down and be cautious of potholes, loose gravel, or irregular pavement. Common in: rural roads, construction zones, or temporarily damaged surfaces.

3. Warning for children

This traffic sign indicates a warning for children. It alerts drivers that children may be present or crossing the road. Drivers should reduce speed and watch for children playing, walking, or going to/from school. Be especially alert for children suddenly crossing the road. Typical Locations: school zones, playgrounds, residential areas, bus stops or near pedestrian crossings.

4. Warning for an uncontrolled crossroad

This traffic sign indicates a warning for an uncontrolled crossroad. It alerts drivers that a crossroad without traffic signals or priority signs is ahead. Drivers should slow down and be alert for traffic from side roads that may not stop. Yield according to local right-of-way rules (e.g., in many European countries, give way to the right). Typical Locations: Rural areas and roads where no clear priority is assigned.

5. Give way to all drivers

This traffic sign indicates you have to give way. It alerts drivers to yield the right of way to other road users. Drivers must slow down and yield to traffic on the intersecting road. Stop if necessary and proceed only when the way is clear. Common at: minor roads joining major roads, roundabouts and merging lanes.

6. Warning for a roundabout

This traffic sign indicates a warning for a roundabout. It alerts that a roundabout (traffic circle) is ahead. Drivers should slow down and prepare to yield to traffic already in the roundabout.

7. Warning for heavy crosswind

This traffic sign indicates a warning for heavy crosswind. It alerts drivers of an area where strong side winds may affect vehicle stability and control. Reduce speed to maintain vehicle control and hold the steering wheel firmly. Be cautious, especially if driving a high-sided vehicle, motorcycle, or light trailer. Common Locations: bridges, viaducts, coastal roads, open plains, mountain passes.

8. Warning for a curve to the left

This traffic sign indicates a warning for a curve to the left. It alerts that the road bends to the left ahead. Drivers should reduce speed and prepare for a change in direction.

9. Warning for a double curve, first left then right

This traffic sign indicates a warning for a double curve ahead, first to the left and then to the right. It alerts drivers to two successive curves, with the first bending to the left and the second to the right. Drivers should reduce speed and be prepared for multiple direction changes. Maintain control and stay alert, especially in poor weather or low visibility.

10. Warning for falling rocks

This traffic sign indicates a warning for falling rocks. It alerts drivers to the risk of rocks falling onto the roadway from adjacent slopes or cliffs. Drivers should reduce speed and stay alert. Be ready for rocks on the road, especially after rain or freezing weather. Avoid stopping near cliffs or slopes. Common Locations: mountain roads, cliffside routes, coastal or hilly terrain.
