Sign shapes and colours
Signs make up half of the G1 test. Understanding the colour and shape system lets you work out the meaning of almost any sign, even one you have not seen before.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ Stop sign: red octagon -- come to a complete stop.
- ◆ Yield sign: red-and-white downward triangle -- give the right of way.
- ◆ Warning signs: yellow diamond -- a hazard or change in the road ahead.
- ◆ Regulatory signs: usually white with black or red markings (a red circle and slash means prohibited).
- ◆ Construction/temporary signs: orange. Information and service signs: blue or green.
