Traffic signs play a vital role in directing, informing and controlling road users’ behaviour in an effort to make the roads as safe as possible for everyone. A knowledge of traffic signs is therefore essential, not just for new drivers or riders needing to pass their theory test, but for all road users, including experienced professional drivers.
This book is a fully updated edition of the highly successful Know Your Traffic Signs first published by HMSO in 1975. It contains information about the most important traffic signs, including many introduced since the 1995 edition. The aim is to illustrate and explain the vast majority of traffic signs the road user is likely to encounter.
