📖 Topic overview
This section teaches you how to read traffic signs and signals so you can react correctly and in time. A sign's background color and shape tell you what kind of information it carries, and signals tell you when to stop, go, or use caution. Learning these lets you understand a sign at a glance.
The background color identifies the type of information — for example, red conveys regulations requiring immediate action, yellow warns of conditions ahead, orange marks construction or maintenance, green gives directions and guidance, and blue and brown point to services and recreation. Shape matters too: an eight-sided octagon means stop, a triangle is a yield, a five-sided sign marks a school area, and a diamond warns of a hazard ahead. Together, color and shape let you recognize a sign even before you read its words.
Traffic signals control who may proceed: green means go when the intersection is clear, steady yellow means the green has ended and red is coming, and red means stop. Arrows and flashing signals add detail — a green arrow gives you the right of way to turn, a flashing yellow arrow lets you turn after yielding, and a flashing red is treated like a stop sign. Pedestrian signals such as WALK and DON'T WALK tell people on foot when it is safe to cross.
What does a sign's color tell me?
The background color identifies the type of information. For example, red signs require immediate action, yellow signs warn of conditions ahead, orange signs mark construction zones, and green signs give directions and guidance.
What should I do at a flashing red light?
A flashing red light is equivalent to a stop sign — come to a complete stop, then proceed with caution when it is safe. At an all-stop flashing red intersection, if you arrive at the same time as another driver, the vehicle on the left yields.
When can I turn right on red?
When it is permitted, come to a full stop, check for vehicles and pedestrians, confirm there is no No Turn on Red sign, and use the correct lane. A left turn on red is allowed only from a one-way street onto a one-way street.
