List of road warning signs and their meanings

CheapInsurance.com offers a detailed guide to road signs based on Federal Highway Administration data to reduce driver confusion and enhance safety in unfamiliar areas.

  • Road signs use specific shapes and colors to convey critical information and ensure safe traffic flow on roads and highways.
  • This system evolved to include four main categories: regulatory signs often use red, white, or black; warning signs use yellow diamonds; guide signs are green or blue; and construction signs are orange.
  • Examples include octagonal red stop signs requiring a full stop, yellow diamond-shaped merge signs indicating lane combinations, and white rectangular no U-turn signs prohibiting U-turns in certain areas.
  • The 'Do Not Pass' sign, a white rectangle with black text, warns drivers against unsafe passing due to limited visibility, while slow-moving vehicles display a reflective orange triangle bordered in red indicating speeds of 25 mph or less.
  • Understanding these signs and interpreting their consistent colors and shapes helps drivers recognize hazards, comply with traffic laws, and maintain safety for all road users.
