They populate the sides of quiet suburban streets, stand at busy intersections and loom large over multi-lane highways. But the traffic signs you see on South Africa’s roads aren’t merely aesthetic. They’re there to warn you of potential dangers and to give important instructions that will keep you, your passengers and other road users safe.
Whether you’re a new driver or a parent wanting to educate your children, this article explains:
The value of traffic signsHow they work hand-in-hand with our road rulesThe different shapes and colours they come inWhy it’s important for children to be able to interpret and respect themWhy are Traffic Signs Important?
Traffic signs provide valuable information to drivers and other road users. They represent rules that are in place to keep you safe, and help to communicate messages to drivers and pedestrians that can maintain order and reduce accidents. Neglecting them can be dangerous.
Most signs make use of pictures, rather than words, so that they are easy to understand and can be interpreted by people who speak a variety of languages. For this reason, it’s important that you know what each picture represents, and that you use them to inform your driving. Failing to do so could result in a serious accident or a fine.
Hope It Helps..:)
