There are really many road signs and even if you have studied them to get your license, sometimes a review is useful: in this article we deal with the warning signs.
Here’s what they are and what they mean .
Warning signs on the street: what they are
A triangular danger sign is normally positioned 1.50 m from the start of the area to be signaled : it is also possible to position it at a different distance, but this must be specified in an additional panel placed under it.
If while driving you cross a signal of this kind, you will immediately know that there is a danger at that point and that you will have to adopt the appropriate behavior: always view any additional panel with the symbol or brief description that specify its nature.
The warning signs have a triangular shape with the vertex facing up: the background is white and the border is red, while the symbol is black.
They are divided into 3 categories:
- Danger signals
- Temporary warning signs
- Distance panels
