Signs including Stop, Yield, No Turns, No Trucks, No Parking, No Stopping, Minimum Speed, Right Turn Only, Do Not Enter, Weight Limit, and Speed Limit are considered regulatory signs. Some have special shapes, such as the octagon for the Stop sign, the triangle for the Yield sign, and the crossbuck for railroad crossings.
Louvers are fitted over the green and yellow balls of the left turn signal head to prevent driver confusion. The left turn signal head is also accompanied by a sign indicating its special use. [21] In this configuration, a green left arrow, with or without a circular green light, will only be displayed during a leading protected–left-turn phase.
Some traffic signs, such as the left-turn prohibition sign hanging from this gantry, are lit for better visibility, particularly at night or in inclement weather. The US National Park Service uses NPS Rawlinson Roadway, a serif typeface, for guide signage; it typically appears on a brown background.
We have different kinds of “rotary traffic islands,” including neighborhood traffic calming circles, mini roundabouts, single-lane roundabouts, and multi-lane roundabouts.
And the professionals who train our children to drive teach their driving students only to pull into the intersection to make a left turn if there is a clear path all the way through the intersection.
Overtaking is prohibited either for all vehicles or for certain kinds of vehicles only (e.g. lorries, motorcycles). In the USA, this is usually phrased as "no passing zone" and indicated by a rectangular, black-on-white sign on the right side of the road that says "DO NOT PASS", and/or by a solid yellow line painted on the roadway marking the left limit of traffic (centerline), and sometimes ...

The second method is to extend the right arm perpendicular to the body, pointing in the same direction as the intended turn.
Instead of a standard left turn being made from the left lane, left-turning traffic uses a ramp on the right side of the road. In a standard forward jughandle or near-side jughandle, the ramp leaves before the intersection, and left-turning traffic turns left off of it rather than the through road; right turns are also made using the jughandle.
