What are the different types of traffic signs ?
As per IRC:67-1977 code of practice, traffic signs are classified into the following three categories :-
- Warning signs or danger signs or cautionary signs
- Regulatory signs -
- prohibitory signs
- mandatory signs
- Informatory signs -
- Indication signs
- Direction and advance direction signs.
- Place and route identification signs.
Mandatory signs are intended to convey definite positive instruction when it is desired that motorist take some positive action. The two most common mandatory signs are stop sign and giveway sign.
The stop sign are used to stop all vehicles before the stop line. Giveway sign is used to assign right of way to traffic on certain approaches to an intersection.
3. INFORMATORY SIGNS -
Informatory signs are intended to guide the road user and to give information of intersecting routes, cities, towns and other important destinations.
