Road signs are located in specific locations to ensure the safety of drivers. These markers let drivers know how fast to drive. They also tell drivers when and where to turn or not to turn. In order to be a great driver, you should have a knowledge of what the sign mean. A student driver won’t be able to get their license unless they know what all traffic signs mean.

One of the most ignored traffic device by student drivers is the speed limit sign. Many students pay no attention to them. If you don’t stay close to the speed limit, your driver’s test may end unsuccessfully. However, the majority of examiners will give you a courtesy warning.

The “No Entry” sign is a sign that could be misleading and so consideration must be given when these signs are noticed. As a student driver you need to be prepared to make a turn whenever you see a no entry sign ahead at the end of the street. Entering an area that you are not supposed to enter or doing an abrupt turn is a guaranteed way to fail your driving test so be on the lookout for these signs.

The stop sign is also one more commonly disregarded or misinterpreted sign. Excellent drivers are prepared to come to a stop when there’s a stop sign. Dismissing the stop sign or stopping suddenly with no gradual decrease in speed is not a sensible way to manage your stop. Slowing down at these signs without coming to a complete stop are all errors which will result in a failure of your driving test.

Another oversight several student drivers make is failure to yield when they come to a “Yield” sign specially when entering the interstate. Though it is not required to stop when nearing a “Yield” sign, some student drivers don’t check their surroundings and pull out in front of cars thinking they have the right of way. This could have adverse results such as an accident and/or not obtaining your license.

Road and traffic control signs are crucial and should be taken seriously even after the completion of your driving test. They are useful in the course of your entire driving experience.

Road signs are essential to the safety of every driver. Road signs are responsible for creating order and exhibiting important information to drivers. When they’re missing or negligently maintained, they create harmful situations for drivers. Municipalities and states are responsible for maintaining and installing these signs for the security of their motorists.
