These signs, which are posted by the Indiana Department of Transportation and local governments, use colors, shapes, written messages, and symbols to help drivers quickly understand the information. Understanding these signs is necessary to obtain an Indiana driver’s license.  \nTRAFFIC SIGN COLORS  \nThe background color of a traffic sign helps to identify the type of information displayed on the sign. There are seven colors commonly used for signs.  \nRed Traffic Signs  \nRed traffic signs convey traffic regulations that require drivers to take immediate action to avoid threats to traffic safety. A “Wrong Way” sign is an example of a traffic sign with a red background.  \n\n| | | Yellow or Fluorescent Yellow-Green Traffic Signs\u003Cbr>Yellow or fluorescent yellow-green signs prepare drivers for specific road conditions and hazards ahead, and alert drivers to nearby school zones. A “Slippery When Wet” sign is one example of a traffic sign with a yellow background. Fluorescent yellow-green signs warn drivers of nearby schools, pedestrians, bicycles, playgrounds, and school bus routes. A “Pedestrian Crossing” sign for a school crossing is an example of a traffic sign that may have a fluorescent yellowgreen background. |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\nWhite Traffic Signs  \nWhite Traffic signs display traffic regulations, such as speed limits, that drivers must obey, as well as helpful information such as state highway markers. A “No Turn on Red” sign is an example of a traffic sign with a white background.  \n\n| | Orange Traffic Signs\u003Cbr>Orange traffic signs warn drivers of temporary traffic conditions.\u003Cbr>These signs are often used to warn drivers of conditions ahead due to highway constructions and maintenance projects. A “Flagger Ahead”sign is an example of a traffic sign with an orange background. |\n| --- | --- |\n\nBrookston 10  \nLafayette 19 Indianapolis 82  \nGreen Traffic Signs  \nGreen traffic signs indicate permitted movements and directions or guidance, such as highway entrances and exits or distance to upcoming destinations. A sign showing distance is an example of a traffic sign with a green background.  \nBlue Traffic Signs  \nBlue traffic signs display road services and information. A sign showing information about amenities at an upcoming exit is an example of a traffic sign with a blue background.  \nBrown Traffic Signs  \nBrown traffic signs indicate nearby recreational and cultural interest sites. A sign showing a nearby state park is an example of a traffic sign with a brown background.  \nINDIANA DRIVER’[S MANUAL](S MANUAL | IN.gov/BMV)[ |](S MANUAL | IN.gov/BMV)[ IN.gov/BMV](S MANUAL | IN.gov/BMV)  \nTRAFFIC SIGN SHAPES  \nThe shape of a traffic sign also indicates the type of information displayed on the sign. There are seven common shapes used for traffic signs.  \nCircular Traffic Signs  \nCircular traffic signs alert drivers to upcoming railroad crossings.  \n\n| | Equilateral Triangle Traffic Signs\u003Cbr>Traffic signs with three sides of equal length warn drivers to slowdown when approaching an intersection, and to be prepared to come to a complete stop in order to yield to other drivers or pedestrians. |\n| --- | --- |\n| | Pennant-Shaped Traffic Signs\u003Cbr>Pennant-shaped traffic signs are posted on the left-hand side of twoway roads to warn drivers not to pass other vehicles on the left. |\n\nRectangular Traffic Signs  \nRectangular traffic signs display one of three types of information. They may convey traffic regulations that drivers must obey, such as speed limits and turn movement prohibitions like “No Left Turn.”They may provide helpful information such as route marker signs that identify a state highway, or destination signs that give the direction to the next town.  \nThey may also warn drivers of hazardous conditions such as an advisory speed for a ","cbCaiitQJnmSScVz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiitQJnmSScVz","pdf",7654868,"English","# Traffic signs and signals\n## Traffic sign colors\n## Traffic sign shapes","[{\"question\":\"How do traffic sign colors help drivers understand information?\",\"answer\":\"Traffic sign colors identify the type of information on the sign.
