Stop
The stop sign, a red octagon with white lettering, means come to a full stop and be sure the way is clear before proceeding.
Regulatory
Regulatory signs are white rectangles or squares with black or other coloured lettering. These signs state the law, such as speed limits, parking regulations and turning and passing movements.
Yield
Yield right of way signs are triangular and have a red border on a white background. A yield sign means you must reduce speed when approaching an intersection. Give right of way and stop if necessary if any other traffic is in, or closely approaching, the intersection.
Warning
Warning signs are diamond shaped and are yellow or orange with black letters or symbols. They warn of dangerous or unusual conditions ahead, such as a curve, turn, dip or side road.
Railway Crossing
The crossbuck is the traditional symbol at roadway-railway crossings. The colour of the crossbuck is the same as a yield sign and has the same meaning; give right of way and stop if necessary.
School Zone (New)
The new school zone signs have a pentagon shape, with a fluorescent yellow-green background and show a black silhouette of a schoolboy and a schoolgirl.
School Zone (Old)
The old school zone sign has a pentagon shape, but with a blue background and shows a white silhouette of a schoolboy and a schoolgirl. These signs are currently being replaced.
School Zone
When this sign has a "Maximum Speed" or "km/h During School Days" tab mounted underneath, it means the speed is to be observed as indicated.
