m Road Signs
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.

Slow down and be careful when you see
a yellow sign. It may signal a railroad
crossing ahead, a no-passing zone, or
line
some other potentially dangerous
situation. Likewise, a yellow solid

Cross."

when you see an orange sign, as part of
the road may be closed off or torn up.

Green signs may indicate upcoming
freeway exits or show the direction you
should turn to reach a particular place.
