This chapter is a handy reference section that gives examples of the most common signs, signals and road markings that keep traffic organized and flowing smoothly.  \nSigns  \nThere are three ways to read signs: by their shape, colour and the messages printed on them. Understanding these three ways of classifying signs will help you figure out the meaning of signs that are new to you.  \nYield the right-of-way  \nShows driving regulations  \nTells about motorist services  \nExplains lane use  \nShows a permitted action  \nSchool zone signs are fluorescent yellow-green  \nShows an action that is not permitted  \nWarns of hazards ahead  \nWarns of  \nconstruction zones  \nRailway crossing  \nRegulatory signs  \nThese signs tell you about driving laws and regulations. It is an offence under the B.C. Motor Vehicle Act to disregard them. Drivers who do not follow the instructions on these signs may receive penalties.  \nStop completely—continue only when safe  \nGive the right-of-way to other vehicles and crossing pedestrians  \nThe maximum legal speed when the road is bare and dry and visibility is good.  \nIndicates a lower speed limit ahead  \nStay off this road during major disasters—road maybe used only by emergency vehicles  \nPassing lane ahead  \nDo not go this way—usually mounted on exit ramps  \nOneway—gives direction of traffic on cross street  \nSlow vehicles to use pullouts for the next stated distance  \nSlow vehicle pullout stated meters ahead  \nSlow vehicle pullout  \nSlow traffic delaying 5 vehicles must use pullout  \nSlow traffic delaying vehicles use pullouts  \nSchool, playground and crosswalk signs  \nThese signs tell you the rules to follow in areas where you need to be extra cautious.  \nPedestrian activated crosswalk—prepare to stop if the light is flashing  \nPedestrian crosswalk—yield to people crossing  \nSchool crosswalk—yield to pedestrians—if thereis a crossing guard, follow directions  \nSchool zone—reduce speed when children are present  \nPlayground nearby—be prepared to  \nslow down  \nPlayground zone— 30 km/h limit is in effect every day from dawn to dusk  \nSchool zone— 50 km/h limit is in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on schooldays when children are on the roadway or shoulder  \nSchool zone—if the tab underneath only indicates the speed limit, that limit is in effect [from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m](from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m). on school days  \nSchool zone—the tab underneath indicates the speed limit and the hours that it is in effect (in this case, the 30 km/h limit is in effect from [8 a.m. to 5 p.m](8 a.m. to 5 p.m). on school days)  \nLane use signs  \nSigns showing which lanes may be used to turn or go straight are mounted above the lane or atthe side of the lane before the intersection. If you are in a designated lane, you must follow the direction indicated by the arrows. You may not move into or out of a designated lane while you are in an intersection.  \nTurn left only  \nGo through or turn right  \nContinue straight only  \nVehicles from both directions must turn left, no through traffic allowed  \nGo through or turn left  \nVehicles in both these lanes must turn left  \n31  \nTurn control signs  \nTurn control signs are mounted directly above the intersection. You must follow the direction of the arrow.  \nNo right turns during posted times  \nParking signs  \nParking signs let you know where and when you are allowed to park. You may receive fines or your vehicle may be towed (or both) i","cbCaiduiKEhhLXeM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiduiKEhhLXeM","pdf",2160481,12,"English","# Signs\n## Regulatory signs\n## School, playground and crosswalk signs\n## Lane use signs\n## Turn control signs\n## Parking signs\n## Reserved lane signs\n## Warning signs\n# Signals\n## Lane control signals\n## Traffic lights\n# Road markings\n## Yellow lines\n## White lines\n## Reserved lane markings\n## Other markings","[{\"question\":\"What are the three ways to read traffic signs?\",\"answer\":\"Traffic signs can be read by their shape, colour, and the messages printed on them.
