Module 1: Road Signs

Learn the sign families used in Singapore and the visual patterns that make each one easy to recognise.

Mandatory Signs

Stop and Give Way signs give compulsory instructions. Obey the sign before proceeding.

Prohibitory Signs

Red circular signs mark actions that are not allowed, such as no entry or no turns.

The Sign Families

Warning

Triangular with red borders. Alerts to hazards ahead.

Regulatory

Rules that control movement, speed, and lane use.

Information

General guidance for facilities, routes, and road context.

Pedestrian

Signs for crossings and people walking near roads.

Pedal-cycle

Dedicated paths and warnings for cyclists.

Directional

Navigation signs for local roads and expressways.

EMAS

What to remember: The high-yield duo

Stop and Give Way signs have unique shapes, so they remain recognisable even when visibility is poor.

STOP Sign

Come to a complete halt behind the stop line.
Wait for a clear gap before proceeding.

GIVE WAY Sign

Slow down and be prepared to stop.
Yield to traffic on the major road.

Information & Service Signs
