U.S. Road Signs – Regulatory Signs

This sign means the road you are on intersects with a divided highway. You can only turn right at the first roadway, and at the second roadway, you can only turn left.

This sign is used on multiple-lane roadways to reduce unnecessary weaving and when there is a tendency on the part of the motorist to drive in the left-hand lane (or lanes) below the normal speed of traffic.

Do not pass. This sign marks the beginning of a no-passing zone. Passing signs tell you where it is safe to pass another vehicle and where you cannot. Passing areas are based on how far you can see ahead. Where it is permitted to pass, you may do so only if it is safe.

A left turn is permitted, but you must yield to oncoming traffic.

Lane-use control signals are special signals posted by the side of the road or overhead. They indicate whether you should or should not drive in a specific lane. A green arrow means you can use the lane. A red X means you cannot.
