Common questions
What do circular road signs mean?
Circular signs give orders. A red circle tells you what you must not do (for example, a speed limit or no entry), and a blue circle tells you what you must do (for example, turn left or the minimum speed).
What does a red and amber traffic light mean?
Stop. Do not go until green shows. Red and amber together come just before green.
