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 crossroad with a sharp side road on the right.

Warning for a double curve, first right then left.

Warning for loose chippings on the road surface.

Warning for an obstacle, pass left or right.

Warning for a railroad crossing without barriers.

Warning for a railroad crossing with barriers.

Warning for a railroad crossing with 1 railway.

Warning for a railroad crossing with more than 1 railway.

Warning for a road with two-way traffic.

Direction prohibited (road with one-way traffic).

Vehicles higher than indicated prohibited.

Vehicles longer than indicated prohibited.

Vehicles heavier than indicated prohibited.

Vehicles with an axle weight heavier than indicated prohibited.

Vehicles wider than indicated prohibited.

1. Warning for low-flying aircrafts

This traffic sign indicates a warning for low-flying aircrafts. It alerts road users that aircraft may fly low over the road, potentially causing noise distraction or sudden overflight surprises. Drivers should remain focused despite potential noise or shadow distractions. Typical Locations: airports, military airbases, landing strips, airshows or heliports.

2. Warning for cattle on the road

This traffic sign indicates a warning for cattle. It alerts drivers to the possible presence of cows, bulls, or other domestic livestock on or near the road. It helps prevent accidents, especially in rural or agricultural areas. Cattle may cross or walk along the road, either freely or under the supervision of a herder. Drivers should: slow down, be ready to stop suddenly, avoid honking or sudden movements. Typical Locations: farmlands, pastures near roads, unfenced grazing areas, mountain roads.

3. Warning for a speed bump

This traffic sign indicates a warning for a speed bump. It alerts drivers of an upcoming raised bump in the road designed to slow down traffic. Drivers should reduce speed to avoid discomfort, damage to the vehicle, or loss of control when driving over the bump. Typical Locations: residential areas, school zones, hospitals, pedestrian zones, roads with traffic calming measures.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Give way ahead

This traffic sign indicates you have to give way ahead. It alerts drivers a Give Way (Yield) sign is coming up soon. It's used as a pre-warning to avoid sudden braking and used before intersections where visibility is low.

9. 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.

10. Warning for a crossroad with a sharp side road on the right

This traffic sign indicates a warning for a crossroad with a sharp side road from the right. It alerts that a side road joins your road from the right at a sharp or acute angle, forming a non-standard intersection. Drivers should reduce speed and be ready for unexpected entries or exits.
