Road Signs: A Short Guide to Their Hidden Meanings
The second most important item you'll need to pay 
attention to while driving, after the other cars on the 
road with you, is road signs. This is especially true 
for drivers who are new to the vast open road. The 
most crucial driving abilities are always defensive 
ones.
The sheer number of signs and lines utilised can be scary to a new motorist, even though those of us 
who have been driving for some time have figured out and learnt what all the road safety signs we see 
imply.
Even though you may have already learned about them in your driver's education classes, I doubt you 
will be able to remember all of the road signs you need to memorise. Let’s check out the hidden 
meanings behind road signs in Australia.
Octagon Shaped Road Signs
A road sign in the shape of an octagon means that 
you must come to a full stop. You should stop at 
the marked stop line before entering the crosswalk 
or before your vehicle enters the intersection. If 
there are other vehicles or pedestrians in your 
path, you should let them pass.
Triangle Shaped Road Signs
For yield signs, this type of road sign is utilised. 
Give way to traffic. Allow vehicles that are in your 
path to pass by to slow down. If necessary, pause 
before continuing. If a pedestrian is in the 
crosswalk or about to enter it, wait until they have 
crossed the street before moving on.
Diamond Shaped Road Signs
Diamond-shaped road signs are warning signs. 
They let you know about special road hazards. The 
words or pictures on the road sign tell you why you 
need to slow down or be extra careful.
Rectangle Shaped Road Signs
These will be either regulatory signs or guide signs. 
Regulatory signs will tell drivers what they should or 
should not do, such as speed limit signs. Horizontal 
road signs will give drivers directions or information 
about services they may want.
