Regulatory signs tell you what the law requires: stop, yield, speed limits, turns and lanes. Most are white rectangles with black or red. Red means stop, yield or a prohibition; a red circle with a slash means “no”.
Practice question
What does this roadside sign tell drivers in the right lane?
- A They may turn right on red without stopping
- B They must turn right at the intersection ahead
- C Their lane ends, so they must merge to the left
- D They must leave at the next freeway exit
Show answer
B. They must turn right at the intersection ahead
This white word sign is posted beside a lane that turns into a required right-turn lane. It is placed before the intersection so drivers can move out of the lane in time. If you are in that lane at the intersection, you must turn.
