REGULATORY SIGNAGES

Regulatory signs are an integral part of traffic management systems and are legally enforceable. They communicate mandatory instructions that drivers, pedestrians, and other road users must obey. These signs are standardized to ensure uniformity and consistency, making them easily recognizable and understandable across different regions.

1. Standardization: Regulatory signs are standardized in terms of shape, color, and symbols to ensure uniformity. For example, stop signs are universally red with white lettering, and yield signs are typically triangular with a red border and white center.

2. Material: These signs are constructed from durable materials like aluminum or steel, often with reflective coatings to ensure visibility at night or in low-light conditions. The use of high-quality materials ensures longevity and resistance to environmental factors such as weather, pollution, and physical wear.

3. Visibility: To maximize visibility, regulatory signs are placed at strategic locations where they are most likely to be seen and heeded by road users. They often feature reflective surfaces or are positioned near lighting sources to remain visible at night.
