regulations, give directions, and such
information as distances to cities.
Symbols on Road Signs
There are many international road signs in
use today.

The basic message of many of these signs
is in pictures or graphic symbols. A
picture within a circle with a diagonal line
across
it
shows what not to
do.
Traffic Lights
We're all familiar with traffic lights or
stop lights. Often green arrows are being
used in the lights for improved traffic
control. On some multilane roads, green
arrows light up, indicating that traffic in
one or more lanes can move or make a
turn. Green arrows don't mean "go no
matter what.'' You'll still need to proceed
with
caution, yielding the right of way to
pedestrians and sometimes to other
vehicles.
Some traffic lights also use red arrows to
signify that you must stop before turning
on red.
