Traffic signs refer to symbols, patterns, text or other visual forms of signs and markings used on the road to instruct, warn, guide and remind drivers, pedestrians and other road users. They play a vital role in road traffic management, helping to improve traffic safety, protect the safety of pedestrians and vehicles, guide traffic flow, regulate traffic order, etc.
Traffic signs are usually divided into several categories based on their purpose and function:
Indicative signs: These signs are used to indicate to drivers and pedestrians the road conditions, direction, destination and other information ahead. For example, arrows indicating directions, mileage signs indicating distances, signs indicating road names, etc.
Warning signs: Warning signs are used to warn drivers and pedestrians of possible dangers ahead or situations that require special attention. For example, warning signs marking construction zones, sharp turns, animal crossing, etc.
Prohibitive signs: These signs are used to prohibit certain behaviors or traffic behaviors. For example, signs such as no speeding, no parking, no left turns, etc.
Instructional signs: Instructional signs are used to guide drivers and pedestrians to their destinations or to take specific traffic actions. For example, signs to destinations such as airports, hospitals, gas stations, etc.
Informational signs: These signs are used to provide traffic-related information rather than specific instructions, warnings or guidance. For example, signs that provide information about local attractions, services, etc.
The design of traffic signs usually follows certain standards and specifications to ensure consistent recognition and readability in various road environments. The colors, shapes, patterns and words of a logo often have specific meanings and uses, and have been extensively tested and verified to ensure their effectiveness and reliability.
