Road Safety Signs

The Road Safety signs you see on New Zealand roads are transnational emblematic signs. This means they use the same shapes and symbols as business signs each over the world.

Emblematic signs are used because they're quick to read and easy for all motorists to understand. New Zealand’s signs are generally made of reflective material, making them easier to read at night.

Example of Road Safety Signs speed limit; turn right; you mustn't make a U turn; stop; give way;

keep left unless passing.

Road safety signs fall into several sub-categories that include Regulatory Signs to advise motorists of restrictions similar as speed limit signs, stop signs, and parking restriction signs Endless Warning Signs( unheroic) to indicate the presence of road hazards similar as wind warning signs, speed hump signs, and “ slippery when wet” signs Temporary Warning Signs (orange) to indicate hazards of a temporary nature similar as road works signs, loose essence signs, and lane check signs Street name signs ( blue) are handed to indicate the names of thoroughfares. Their stylish use is in furnishing backing to road druggies who are strange with the area and are trying to confirm road names when following a chart or

route instructions. The figures on the signs are Rapid-fire figures to indicate the addresses of private parcels.

Guide Signs ( green) give directional information as well as information similar as distance.

Amenity signs (Tourist brown; automobilist services blue) supplement road name signs to help in locating a particular installation. The use of amenity signs is precisely managed to give fresh backing to road druggies where justified, while avoiding the proliferation of large figures of signs.
