The
Shape - and Color - Give Us a Sign
|
| WARNING signs alert drivers to existing or potentially hazardous road conditions. |
|
Several warning signs help drivers anticipate sharp turns or curves in the road. |
|
Usually diamond-shaped and yellow, warning signs caution drivers that the road is slippery when wet; there is an intersection ahead, the lanes narrow, or there may be bicyclists, farm animals, or wildlife on
or near the roadway. |
|
The pentagon shape with the point to the top warns us to watch for school children. The new color for these signs - fluorescent yellow-green - is much easier to see in low light and foggy/rainy weather. |
|
Pay attention to the round yellow WARNING sign - there's a railroad crossing ahead. |
|
Yellow pennant-shaped signs caution motorists where passing is unsafe. |
