Road Signs

Road Signs & Their Meanings

The Highway Code categorises signs into three main types — each with specific legal implications.

Prohibition Signs

Red circular signs that tell you what you must NOT do.

e.g. No entry, speed limits, no overtaking

Mandatory Signs

Blue circular signs that tell you what you must do.

e.g. Turn left, mini-roundabout, keep right

Warning Signs

Triangular signs that warn of hazards ahead on the road.

e.g. Sharp bend, school ahead, roadworks
