Traffic SignsStandalone practice
Why should a driver learn the common shapes and colours of traffic signs?
Correct answer: Shape and colour help identify a sign that is hard to read
Why
Learn the common shapes, colours and symbols together. They can help you recognize a sign when rain, snow or darkness makes its lettering harder to see. For example, the stop sign has eight sides and the yield sign is an inverted triangle. You must still read the full message and any supplementary conditions; broad colour families do not make all signs interchangeable.
