Location of Signs

 LOCATION OF SIGNS

Driving safely is affected by the locations where traffic signs are placed. The following points provide guidance on the sites where traffic signs should be placed.

• Traffic signals are normally placed at intersections and crossings
•  In some countries, these signals are placed ahead of the actual signal causing the traffic to stop well in advance of the intersection thereby enhancing the purpose of the signals (prevent accidents)
  
• Traffic signs or road signs are signs erected at the side of or above roads to give instructions or provide information to road users
