    Study Notes

    Traffic Sign Shapes

    • Octagon: Stop sign—mandatory complete stop at the stop line or before the intersection if no stop line exists.
    • Triangle: Yield sign—slow down and give right-of-way to crossing vehicles; proceed if clear.
    • Diamond: Warns of possible hazards on the road.
    • Pennant: Indicates no passing zones.

    Regulatory Signs

    • Traffic control signs enforce rules; non-compliance can result in legal penalties.
    • 4-Way Stop: All directions stop; first vehicle to arrive proceeds first; if tied, the left driver yields to the right.
    • Do Not Enter: Marks one-way streets; alerts against wrong-way entries.
    • Wrong Way: Indicates the driver is heading against traffic; immediate stop is required.

    Crosswalks and Markings

    • Stop Line & Crosswalk: Marked with white lines; indicate pedestrian crossing spots where drivers must yield.
    • Other Markings: Yellow curbs indicate no-parking zones; diagonal stripes denote fixed obstructions; penalties apply for violating marked areas.

    Right-of-Way Rules

    • Define who has priority (motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists) in various traffic situations, guiding safe navigation.

    Traffic Sign Colors

    • Red: Signals stop, do not enter, and wrong way.
    • Orange: Warning for construction zones.
    • Yellow: General alerts for unexpected conditions.
    • Fluorescent Yellow-Green: High emphasis on school and pedestrian activity warnings.
    • White/Black: Regulatory signs indicating laws.
    • Green: Guide and directional information.
    • Blue: Directions to motorist services (gas, food, lodging).
    • Brown: Identifies cultural, historical, and recreational sites.

    Informational Signs

    • Green guide signs show directions and distances; even numbers denote East-West routes, odd numbers denote North-South.
    • Blue and white service signs provide directions to facilities; brown and white signs indicate scenic spots.

    Traffic Control Signals

    • Regulate movement at intersections; compliance is mandatory unless directed otherwise by an officer.
    • If signals malfunction, treat the situation as a four-way stop.

    Steady Signal Lights

    • Red Light: Full stop required; proceed only on green or with clear right turn (if permitted).
    • Turning left from a one-way street is allowed onto another one-way street with left-moving traffic only.
