Know Your Traffic Signs

by Department of Transport

Traffic signs play a vital role in directing, informing and controlling road users' behaviour in an effort to make the roads as safe as possible for everyone. This makes a knowledge of traffic signs essential. Not just for new drivers or riders needing to pass their theory test, but for all road users, iWe live in times of change. Society, technology and the economy all play their part in changing the way we travel. New road signs conveying new messages and in new formats are introduced from time to time, so drivers or riders who passed their driving test a few years ago need to keep up to date or run the risk of failing to understand or comply with recently introduced signs including experienced professional drivers.

[Helen Natasha Moore · Rating 2 out of 5]

What I wanted was a book that would explain to me the rules of how traffic signage work. What I got was 99 pages of traffic signs and half-hearted attempts to explain the meaning of each one. I am not left with the impression that there *are* any rules. If there *are* rules, then the system remains as labyrinthine and obfuscated as it ever did. This book did nothing to reveal them. I am none the wiser.
