Traffic signal lights and signs by color and shape - driver safety

SIGNAL LIGHTS  RED: Stop. YELLOW: Prepare to stop. GREEN: Go. FLASHING RED LIGHT: Come to a complete stop and yield to oncoming traffic or pedestrians. FLASHING YELLOW LIGHT: Slow down and

proceed with caution. FLASHING YELLOW ARROW: You may proceed in the direction of the arrow after yielding to oncoming traffic. GREEN ARROW: You may proceed in the direction of the arrow. No

other traffic is supposed to be in conflict with your turn — your turn is “protected.” You may still proceed once the green arrow turns off if you have a green light, but your turn is no

longer protected. Other traffic may have the right-of-way, and you must yield. RED ARROW: You may not proceed in the direction of the arrow until it turns off. A flashing red arrow means

that you must come to a complete stop before proceeding. SIGNS RED OCTAGON: Come to a complete stop, and then proceed with caution. FLUORESCENT YELLOW/GREEN PENTAGON: Pedestrian crossing or

school zone. YELLOW OR WHITE CIRCLE: Rail crossing ahead. YELLOW DIAMOND: General warning about road condition. WHITE VERTICAL RECTANGLE: Regulates driving conditions and/or speed limit.

BROWN HORIZONTAL RECTANGLE: Public recreation or scenic guidance. RED CIRCLE WITH WHITE HORIZONTAL BAR ACROSS MIDDLE: Do not enter. INVERTED WHITE TRIANGLE WITH RED BORDER: Allow other

drivers to go first (yield). HORIZONTAL BLUE RECTANGLE: Directions to a hospital. YELLOW PENNANT POINTED RIGHT: No passing zone.
