Sc
Signs helping the motorist
to safety on the highwaYs have
distinctive shapes. -What they
mean can frequently be- "tele-
.\1 graphed" -- especially during
inclement weather — to the
motorist who can recognize
their meaning, even before he
may be able to read lettering.
Now, here is what each of
the shapes mean:
The upright rectangle, upper
left, means that some special
regulation, such as "Do Not
Enter" or "Keep Off the Me-
dian" or "Do Not Pass," is be-
ing flashed to you.
The octagonal shape, center
above, means unequivocally:
"Stop."
The circle, upper right, car-
ries a warningthat you are ap-
proaching a railroad crossing.
The diamond shaped sign
warns you to "slow down."
The horizontal rectangle is
used to furnish you with direc-
tions such as "Main Street
Next Exit" or "Springfield 30
Miles."
The inverted triangle carries
an imperative concerned with
entering a stream of traffic. Its
message tells you to "yield,''
signifying that the cars in oth-
er lanes have the right of way.
