2 SSigns are defined by their function and are broken into three major groups: RRegulatory Signs give notice of traffic laws or regulations. WWarning Signs give notice of a situation that might not be readily apparent. GGuide signs show route designations, destinations, directions, distances, services, points of interest, and other geographical, recreational, or cultural information.

3  This type of signs regulates or controls the movement of traffic.  REGULATORY SIGNS ARE: RED & WHITE WHITE & BLACK GREEN ON WHITE  MOST REGULATORY SIGNS ARE VERTICAL RECTANGLES

4 SSTOP SIGN  Y YIELD SIGN WWRONG WAY

5  SPEED LIMIT SIGNS

6 SSPECIAL PARKING SIGNS OR SEAT BELT LAWS

7 WWarning road signs give notice of a situation that might not be readily apparent. Warning road signs typically have a yellow background color but the background color can also be orange or fluorescent- pink, or YELLOW-GREEN depending on the situation. EEXAMPLES OF WARNING ROAD SIGNS:

14 GGuide signs are essential to guide drivers along streets and highways, to inform them of interesting routes, to direct them to cities, towns, villages, or other important destinations, to identify nearby rivers and streams, parks, forests, and historical sites, and generally to give such information as will help them along their way in the most simple, direct manner possible.

15 How the Interstates are Numbered  The Interstate Highway numbering system was established in 1957. The Interstate route marker is the familiar red, white, and blue shield with the word “Interstate,” the state name, and the route number.

16  Routes running north and south have odd numbers, such as I-29. The lowest numbers are in the west, such as I-5 along the west coast. The highest numbers are in the east, such as I-95.

17  East and west routes have even numbers. The lowest numbers are in the south, such as I-10 along the southern border. The higher numbers are in the north, such as I-94 along the northern border.

18  THE U.S. HIGHWAY SYSTEM IS NUMBER JUST LIKE THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM. EVEN NUMBERED ROADS GO EAST AND WEST. ODD NUMBERED ROADS GO NORTH AND SOUTH.

19 SSTATE ROUTES ARE NUMBER THE SAME WAY.
