Regulatory sign
Regulatory signs are signs for prohibiting, restricting, or designating traffic for vehicles or pedestrians. There are red and blue signs on the outer frame of the sign, but the red sign means prohibition. The blue one means a positive command or designation.
Instruction sign
An instruction sign is a sign that prohibits a specific traffic method and specifies that you should follow a specific method.
Warning sign
Warning signs are signs that signal danger or caution and encourage necessary deceleration or careful driving. It is displayed in yellow and black and is designed to stand out.
