Information signsWarning signs
A warning sign is a traffic sign that alerts drivers to a potential danger or change in road conditions ahead, giving them enough time to slow down and react safely. These signs warn about hazards such as sharp bends, pedestrian crossings, slippery surfaces, merging traffic, animals on the road, or upcoming intersections. Their purpose is not to forbid or command anything, but simply to prepare drivers for situations that require extra attention.
How should I recognise hazard warnings in Canada?
Typical Ontario hazard warnings are yellow diamonds with black symbols; temporary-condition signs form another group.
How should I react to a pedestrian warning in Canada?
Ontario example: Reduce speed, look along both sides of the road and be ready to stop. The warning identifies a pedestrian hazard ahead; children, people with limited mobility or others may enter the road unexpectedly.
Does a traffic-lights-ahead warning require an immediate stop in Canada?
Ontario example: No. A warning sign is not an automatic STOP instruction and does not create a new numerical speed limit. Reduce speed when necessary, look for a queue or a concealed signal, and obey the traffic lights and any separate speed or stop signs.
1. Stop and give way
This traffic sign means stop and give way. You must come to a complete stop before entering the intersection and give way to traffic that has priority. Proceed only when it is safe.
English • Québec P-10 • Stop. Come to a complete stop at the stop line or before entering the junction, and proceed only when safe. The Québec catalogue also permits the word STOP.
