Traffic rules are taught from childhood. And this is absolutely correct, because safety while driving on the road and sidewalk depends on this knowledge. In addition to the rules for crossing streets and driving as a pedestrian or driving rules, you also need to know the road signs. You may ask: what are they for? In fact, without them on the road it would be very difficult to figure out who should give way to whom or where you can park your car.
Traffic signs, depending on the shape, color and image, have completely different purposes. Triangular signs with red edging are needed to warn and inform drivers about a dangerous section of the road, the need to reduce speed and increase attention. Round road signs with a white or blue background and red edging are prohibitive. They are needed to draw the attention of drivers to certain prohibitions (travel, parking, etc.), so for the edging was chosen exactly the red color, which evokes an association with danger. Installation of road signs of a round shape with a blue background is carried out in those places where it is necessary to indicate the direction of movement of vehicles, minimum speed, and the like. They are prescriptive and are designed to help drivers and pedestrians cross a certain section of road correctly.
In addition to these signs, there are also service or information signs. They have a rectangular shape and are made in the form of plates. Prescription signs can have a green, blue, yellow or white background and are necessary to indicate an underground pedestrian crossing, residential area, artificial unevenness. Signs with a white background are used to indicate additional information. With the help of them, you can depict an underground or ground pedestrian crossing, as well as an approaching food point, resting place, telephone, hospital, car wash.
Thus, one can easily understand that without traffic signs, it would be very difficult for both drivers and pedestrians to behave properly on the road. Therefore, it is necessary to know the designations of at least the most basic ones in order to feel confident in any situation and know exactly how to act.
