INFORMATIVE SIGN

A very legibly printed and very noticeable placard that informs people of the purpose of an object, or gives them instruction on the use of something. Information signs have been growing in visibility due to the explosion of sign technologies. For hundreds, if not thousands, of years signs were crafted out of wood. Words and images were then hand-painted on the sign. The other traditional way of creating signs dealt with individual constructed letters carved from wood, molded or wrought from metal, which were then individually placed in the appropriate sequence. While both of these methods are still employed, technology has moved in around them. Woodworking machinery can now be controlled by computers, leading to much greater consistency. Molded signage has changed dramatically with the advent of plastics, which are far more flexible than metal as well as significantly cheaper to produce.

Additionally, altogether new sign technologies have come into being, such as computer-cut vinyl signage. Also known as guide signs, or informative signs. Rectangular in shape white-colored on blue background is used for informative signs. Green background is usually used for route markers and destination signs. It is intended to: a) guide motorist along established rotes, b) inform the motorists of the proper roads, and c) help motorists along the way in the most simple and direct method.

REGULATORY SIGNS
Traffic signs intended to instruct road users on what they must or should do (or not do) under a given set of circumstances. Other types may be signs located on streets and in parking lots having to do with parking, signs in public parks and on beaches or on or in architectural facilities prohibiting specific types of activities. The term regulatory sign describes a range of signs that are used to indicate or reinforce traffic laws,

regulations or requirements which apply either at all times or at specified times or places upon astreet or highway, the disregard of which may constitute a violation, or signs in general that regulate public behavior in places open to the public. Examples of non-traffic types of regulatory signs might be tow-away signs for vehicles without disabled parking stickers or no-smoking signs where there are laws prohibiting smoking. These are signs which impose legal restrictions applicable location usually enforceable in the absence of such signs. These are intended to: a) inform road users of certain laws and regulations, and b) special obligations, instructions, or prohibitions which they must comply with and violations of which constitute misdemeanor.

DANGER WARNING SIGNS

A traffic warning sign is a type of traffic sign that indicates a hazard ahead on the road that may not be readily apparent to a driver. In most countries, they usually take the shape of an equilateral triangle with a white background and a thick red border. However, both the color of the background and the color and thickness of the border varies from country to country. Warning signs in some countries have a diamond shape in place of the standard triangular shape. In the United States, Canada, Mexico,Thailand, Australia, J apan, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, most of South America, and also Ireland (diverging from the standards of the rest of Europe) use warning signs are black on a yellow background and usually diamond-shaped, while temporary signs (which are typically construction signs) are black on an orange background. Some other countries also use these standards for some signage. The warning signs usually contain a symbol. In Europe they are based on the UNECE Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals. In United States they are based on their own standard and often contain text only.

Also known as caution signs. These are signs have an equilateral triangular shape with one side horizontal and having red borders. These are signs intended to: a) warn motorist of approaching hazardous road conditions, b) seek caution for the approaching road hazards, and c) call the reduction of speed.
