Acknowledgments We wish to thank the Department of Transport for the co operation given to us in the compilation of this learning aid. Permission granted in February 2013 to reproduce the road signs and road markings.

Great care has gone into the production of this learning aid to ensure that it is a comprehensive guide covering all the road signs and road markings which you require to drive safely on South Africa's roads.

The book is based on the fact that you the learner have not been exposed to certain scenarios on our Roads. Hence we have tried to make it as simple as possible with two different view ports to explain all the signs.
