  • Road signs exist simply to maintain safe driving procedures for everyone. Without safety signs, vehicles probably would have more collisions or endanger more lives. Road signs usually located on the right side of the road.

    Permanent Signs

    The most common road safety signs are founds on the side of the road or at intersections. Stop signs, speed-limit signs and yield signs always must be obeyed.

    Temporary Signs

    Some signs are enforced only temporarily. They usually are placed directly on the ground as a means to signal temporary closures or alternate parking, such as valet-parking signs and "do not enter" signs).

    Highway Signs

    Signs on the highway are primarily concerned with keeping traffic moving at safe speeds. Common signs might explain how and where to pull over in case of emergencies or provide specific instructions for large trucks.

    Parking Signs

    Parking signs are designed for safety as well, since areas deemed "no parking zones" are done so for traffic safety, such as reserving parking zones for commercial drop-offs to dispel traffic buildups.

    Pedestrian Signs

    Not all road signs are for motor vehicles--some are intended only for pedestrians. These signs inform pedestrians where and when to cross a street.
