Georgia Road Signs Quiz – The Road Signs You Must Know

This is a yield sign.

A triangle sign means yield. You must slow down to a reasonable speed for existing conditions and stop if necessary. If you must stop, do so at a marked stop line, if it exists. After slowing or stopping, you must yield the right-of-way to other vehicles in the intersection or approaching closely on another roadway or auxiliary road leading into a major highway.

Crossbuck signs are found at railroad crossings.

As you travel along Georgia's highways, blue and white signs will give directions to service facilities. They direct you to services, such as gas, food, motels, and hospitals.

Blue is also used to identify parking spaces for disabled drivers.

The color orange means road work. Highway work zones are defined as portions of a highway or street where construction, reconstruction, or maintenance work is being done to the road, its shoulders, or any other areas near the roadway.

Pedestrian crossing.

Just ahead is where people on foot often cross. Use caution as you approach and drive more slowly and carefully, watching both sides of the street for pedestrians.

When pedestrians are in the crosswalks, they must be given the right-of-way.

There is a stop sign ahead. Begin to slow down and be prepared to stop.

You are approaching a school zone. A reduced speed limit is in effect when the yellow lights are flashing. You must stay within the school zone speed limit when lights are flashing.

Merge. Traffic is merging from the side shown on the sign (left). Prepare to allow traffic to merge safely.

The roadway is slippery when wet. Remember, the first half-hour of rain is the most hazardous. Slick surfaces can exaggerate regular movements. A skid can occur if brakes are applied too hard, or the wheel is turned too sharp. When pavement is wet, reduce your speed.

Sharp Turn.

The sign is used to warn of a sharp turn.

The shoulder of the road is soft and can be dangerous. Drive on the shoulder only in emergencies.

T-Intersection.

The road you travel on ends ahead. Slow down and prepare to yield or stop before turning right or left.

You are approaching a roundabout intersection. When an advisory speed panel is posted below the sign, slow down to the recommended speed.

Low Clearance Ahead.

Approaching a low underpass. Only enter if your vehicle or cargo is within the maximum height indicated on the sign.

Some roadways can accommodate different daily traffic demands by using a reversible lane system. Appropriate travel lanes on a roadway utilizing a reversible lane system are as follows:

• Steady Red X: No travel allowed in this lane in the direction you are going.
• Steady Yellow X: Clear the lane.
• Flashing Yellow X: Left turn permitted.
• Steady Green X: Travel in the lane.

Do not enter.

The sign marks a one-way roadway with traffic coming against you. You must not enter the one-way at this point.

Remember, this is a square sign with a white horizontal line inside a red ball. The sign is not circular.

You are approaching an area where a reduced speed limit is established. Be prepared to comply with the posted speed limit ahead.

You may also see a yellow warning sign instead of this black and white sign.

Cars in the left lane may turn left or go straight. Cars in the center lane must go straight. Cars in the right lane must turn right.

Lane use control signs are rectangular, black and white signs. These signs show where turns are required or permitted.

You must move your vehicle only in the direction indicated for your traffic lane.

You cannot make a right turn at this intersection. Remember, a red circle with a red slash mark across a symbol indicates that you should not take a certain course of action.

No U-Turn.

You cannot turn around to go in the opposite direction at this intersection.

Remember, a red circle with a red slash from upper left to lower right means NO.
