It describes the purpose of traffic signs as instant, visual cues for traffic flow, routes, distances, and services, and emphasizes that signs change over time through ongoing transportation reviews. It outlines core sign types by function—regulatory, warning, and guidance—and details specific examples such as stop, yield, and school zone signs, including speed and stopping requirements.

It includes information on the following:  \n• regulatory signs  \n• warning signs  \n• guidance signs  \n• work zone signs  \n• pavement markings  \nTraffic signs and pavement markings are pictures with specific meanings. Like flash cards, they must be read and understood in an instant. Signs and pavement markings help regulate the flow of traffic and warn you of conditions on the road ahead. They also inform you about routes,  \ndistances, and available services. Take the time to learn and remember the numerous traffic signs and pavement markings.  \nBe aware that signs and pavement markings change overtime. The Department of Transportation and Public Works continually reviews existing highway conditions. The department also reviews new practices and technologies, creates new signs, modifies existing signs, and introduces new devices whenever appropriate. Always be alert and prepared for these changes.  \nTraffic signs have distinctive shapes and use different symbols and colours so that you can recognize them from a distance. Early recognition will allow you to regulate your driving in accordance with these signs. Traffic signs are classified according to their function: regulatory (rules of the road), warning, and guidance (information and direction) . Become familiar with the various signs so that you can understand them.  \nSigns, Pavement Markings, and Work Zones  \nSigns with a green circle give permission, as indicated  \nSigns with ared circle with a slash deny permission, as indicated  \nSigns, Pavement Markings, and Work Zones  \nStop Sign  \nYield Sign  \nSchool Zone Sign  \nRegulatory Signs  \nRegulatory signs indicate the laws and regulations affecting the use of the highway. You must observe the instructions on regulatory signs unless directed otherwise by a Peace Officer.  \nStop sign  \nThe stop sign is eight-sided with a red background and the word “STOP” printed in white. The octagonal shape is used only for stop signs. A stop sign means that you must bring your vehicle to a complete stop and be sure the way is clear before proceeding. The stop must be completed at the clearly marked stop line, or at the nearest crosswalk line.  \nIf there is no painted crosswalk or stop line, you must stop far enough back to allow sufficient room to allow a pedestrian to cross safely. This is called an unmarked crosswalk.  \nYield sign  \nThe yield sign is triangular and is red and white. The yield sign means that you must reduce speed as your vehicle approaches the intersection. You must give the right of way, stopping if necessary, to any other traffic in, or closely approaching, the intersection.  \nSchool zone  \nThe school zone sign is five-sided with a fluorescent yellowgreen background and two school children pedestrian symbols in black. This is the standard design across Nova Scotia since June 1, 2001. When children are present in a school zone, the maximum speed limit is 30 km/h where the approaching speed limit is 50km/h, or 50km/h where the approaching speed limit is higher than 50km/h whatever the time of day. You must slow down, watch for children, and exercise extreme caution, as with all driving situations. Your speed must be reasonable and prudent for existing conditions.  \nRailway crossings  \nRailway crossings are marked with a crossbuck sign which has a white background with a red reflective border. This has replaced the older sign which had “Railway Crossing”in black lettering printed on the crossbuck.  \nA yellow and black warning sign indicates that you are approaching a railway crossing. The direction or angle of the tracks across the road is reflected on the sign (in this case perpendicular) .  \nAs you approach the tracks, look both ways and listen, because you may have to stop.
