Regulatory Signs

Regulatory signs are instructions, not suggestions — ignoring one is a traffic offence, not just poor judgement. Most are circular with a red border, but three shapes break that pattern deliberately so they stand out even more: Stop is an octagon, Yield is an inverted triangle, and a blue circle means a mandatory direction rather than a prohibition. This is the largest sign category on the test, so it’s worth working through it group by group.

Stop and yield

The most-tested signs in this entire category.

Entry, direction and turning

Where you may or may not go.

Overtaking, stopping and parking

The prohibitions that show up constantly in everyday driving.

Vehicle-class prohibitions

Roads or lanes closed to a specific type of vehicle or road user.

Behavioural prohibitions

Actions rather than vehicles — easy to forget, still examinable.

Reservation signs

Blue signs meaning “this lane or area is reserved for…” — not a prohibition, an allocation.

Priority

One sign, but an important one.
