Warning Signs
Every warning sign shares the same shape and colour for a reason: a red-bordered triangle, point up, white background, black symbol. That consistency is deliberate — it means you can recognise “this is a warning” instantly, from a distance, before you’ve had time to read the symbol inside it. Once you know it’s a warning, the only job left is figuring out what it’s warning you about.

Some of these signs — hairpin bend, winding road, pedestrian and children crossing, loose stones, speed hump, steep gradients, slow vehicles, tunnel, gate/boom, drift, reduced visibility, crosswinds, one-vehicle-width structures, road works, grader working, cattle, wild animals, and agricultural vehicles — aren’t listed at all on the main SA competitor site we benchmarked against. They’re genuinely part of the official signage set and appear in K53 study material, so they’re covered here in full.
