street signs

Intersection name plates

Street signs are the posted notices along roads that communicate rules, warnings, and information to drivers and pedestrians.

Stop signs, speed limits, and yield signs regulate traffic.

Warning signs alert to curves, crossings, or hazards ahead.

Informational signs indicate distances, destinations, and services.

Follow the street signs to the highway.
