ROAD SIGNS
Mandatory signs: These road signs inform drivers/riders of the traffic rules that apply on a certain
stretch of road, thereby instructing them on how to drive/ride. Mandatory signs are distinguished by
the bright red circle with black and blue markings. It is imperative that all riders follow these signs as
they help avoid accidents. Their violation can be penalised under the Motor Vehicle Act.

ROAD SIGNS
Cautionary signs: These signs inform the driver/rider of the road conditions ahead.
Cautionary signs therefore serve as a warning. They are usually in a red triangle with black
pictures on a white background. Illustrations, diagrams and symbols are used to forewarn about
dangers ahead. Cautionary road signs are as important as mandatory signs. However, the
violation of cautionary signs does not attract penalty.
