Different types of signs

When it comes to signs, understanding what they mean can be tricky. Knowing what the shapes mean makes it a lot easier.

In the picture above you can see that triangle signs give you warnings. Circle signs give you orders and rectangular signs give you information.

Reference points make it easier when you first start driving. In the video above, there are lots of reference points to help you turn left and right.

Once you do this a few times, you won't need to use them anymore. Practice this loads and make sure you know how to do it properly before going for your test.

Signs that are in a circle give you orders. The ones with the red circle tell you what you must not do. So in the first sign above, the sign is telling you that you must not overtake. There are also order signs but with blue circles.

The signs above are in a blue circle. These signs are also orders but tell you what you must do rather than what you must not do. In the example above, the middle sign is a Minimum 30MPH sign. This means that you must do 30MPH unless it is impractical or dangerous to do so.
