ROAD SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS
Every day, we come across many signs on our roads.
Such signs include:
- Traffic Lights: This is usually located at cross-roads junctions. Traffic lights have three colours, which are green, amber and red.
Each colour gives specific instruction to road users,
e.g. Amber (Yellow light) indicates get ready to go
Green means go while red means stop.
TRAFFIC LIGHT
- Zebra Crossing: This is used to indicate where pedestrians ( people walking) can safely cross the road.
