Señales de obligación
Una señal de obligación es una señal de tráfico que indica a los conductores qué deben hacer. En lugar de prohibir acciones, impone obligaciones como seguir una dirección determinada, utilizar un carril concreto o mantener una velocidad mínima. Su finalidad es guiar el tráfico de forma segura y eficiente asegurando que todos los usuarios sigan el mismo comportamiento obligatorio en lugares donde es necesario para el orden y la seguridad.
