What are Road Traffic Signs and Symbols
Road traffic signs and symbols are visual markers that were designed to
guide drivers and pedestrians toward their destination. These were meant to
keep them safe while they're on the move on public roads. They usually provide
either a direction, a warning, or an instruction that both drivers and pedestrians
must follow. Some road signs are usually found at the side of the street, though
some can also be found above the roads or on the roads, pavements, and
bridges.
The assortment of road traffic signs and symbols in the Philippines are
important to both drivers and pedestrian for the following reasons:
Safety
Warning for potential dangers of congested and accident-prone areas.
Efficient explanation of the rules of road usage to facilitate better and safer
traffic flows.
For the motorists, the traffic signs can also be cues for mindful driving.
Drivers and pedestrians can also refer to these signs to find areas that are
safe for walking, driving, turning, and crossing.
