ROAD SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS

Every day, we come across many signs on our roads.

Such signs include:

1. 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.
