Your Driving and the Road
A
Road Sigpts
The road signs you see everywhere are
coded by color, shape and symbols. It's a
good idea to know these codes so that you
can quickly grasp the basic meaning or
intent of the sign even before you have a
chance to read
it.

YELLOW indicates a general warning.
Slow down and be careful when you see a
yellow sign.
It
may signal a railroad
crossing ahead, a no-passing zone, or
some other potentially dangerous
situation. Likewise, a yellow solid line
painted on the road means "Don't Cross."

ORANGE indicates road construction or
maintenance. You'll want
to
slow down
when you see an orange sign, as part of
the road may be closed off or torn up.
And there may be workers and
maintenance vehicles around, too.
