Traffic signs
A traffic sign is a standardised visual symbol placed along roads to guide, warn, or regulate drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. These signs provide essential information about road conditions, rules, directions, and potential hazards, helping to ensure safety and smooth traffic flow. They come in various shapes and colours—such as triangular warning signs, circular prohibitory or mandatory signs, and rectangular information signs—each designed for quick recognition and clear understanding.
How are traffic signs grouped in India?
Official training material groups signs into mandatory/regulatory, cautionary/warning and informatory/guide signs. Regulatory does not mean prohibition only.

Is a temporary speed limit at roadworks binding in India?
Yes. Obey authorised temporary speed restrictions. Regulation 16(5) also sets a maximum of 25 km/h, or a lower signed limit, when passing a construction site indicated by signage. Reduce speed further when road, traffic or visibility conditions require it.
