Warning Signs
Warning signs give advance notice of possible hazards or changes in road conditions. This topic helps recognize their general appearance and understand what conditions require advance speed reduction or increased attention.
Road Signs
The essentials
This topic introduces the main groups of road signs, their shape, colour, meaning and logic of application. The goal is not only to recognize a sign, but to understand what behaviour it requires from the driver in a given road situation.
What to remember
Always interpret a road sign in three steps: first identify its group—warning, priority, prohibitory, mandatory or information—then determine who and which direction it applies to, and finally take supplementary plates and road markings into account. A sign’s colour or shape only hints at its group; the required action is determined by the sign’s specific meaning. If a sign conflicts with an active traffic light or a traffic controller’s signal, follow the traffic-control instruction with the higher priority.

Priority Signs
Priority signs determine which direction or road has precedence. This topic helps interpret the main road, give-way requirement, STOP and priority between opposing flows by combining the signs with the situation.
Prohibitory Signs
Prohibitory signs introduce or cancel specific traffic prohibitions and restrictions. This topic teaches whom each restriction applies to, where it begins and under what conditions it may end or not apply.
Mandatory Signs
Mandatory signs indicate a required direction of movement or behaviour. This topic helps distinguish a permitted choice from a mandatory instruction and apply the sign in the context of a lane, intersection or special road section.
Information and Special Regulation Signs
Information and special regulation signs provide information about traffic regimes, directions, road facilities or special lanes. This topic helps understand not only the symbol on the sign, but also how it changes the driving rules on that section.
Supplementary Information Plates
Supplementary plates are normally used together with a main road sign and clarify how that sign applies. They can specify direction, distance, area, time or a particular vehicle group, so they must be interpreted together with the main sign.
