This sign tells you that you must not park in this area if your vehicle is over the weight limit indicated.

Use the windscreen wipers to keep the windscreen clear of rain, spray, snow or fog. Check them regularly to ensure that they are in good working order, and replace them when they become worn, before they become ineffective.

A contra-flow bus lane is one that runs in the opposite direction to traffic beside it. Only buses on a scheduled service may use a contra-flow bus lane.

A green arrow (filter light) means that traffic may proceed in the direction of the arrow if it is safe to do so.

Use the windscreen wipers to keep the windscreen clear of rain, spray, snow or fog. Check them regularly to ensure that they are in good working order, and replace them when they become worn, before they become ineffective.

If a driver needs to cross a bus lane on their left in order to enter a property, they should take extra care that there are no buses, taxis or cyclists in the bus lane. They should check mirrors, signal and turn into the property when it is safe to do so.

The driver should moderate their speed during heavy rain or where water is building up on the road surface. This will help to avoid ‘aquaplaning’ which has the effect of reducing the grip of the tyres on the road, and this affects the steering and braking. For these reasons the driver should slow down during and after rain and keep a greater distance from the vehicle in front.

The driver must yield to oncoming traffic and to pedestrians who are already crossing when turning right from a major road to a minor road.

This sign gives advance warning of a steep descent/downward slope ahead. You should react accordingly by adjusting speed and selecting the appropriate gear.

Motorways are designed so that traffic can move faster and more freely, without traffic lights, crossroads, level crossings and other road features that might slow down traffic. There are also restrictions on who may use a motorway – for example learner-drivers and motorcycles under 50 cc are prohibited.

This sign tells you that you must keep left. It is usually displayed at a traffic island in the centre of the road and also used on occasion to control traffic at roadworks.

When driving through a flooded section of road, brakes may become less effective. If this happens, test brakes to ensure that they have not been affected by the water – check mirrors before doing so. If they have been affected, press gently on the brake pedal when driving until they dry out and return to normal.

There are extra dangers when driving on a motorway because of the increased volume of traffic and higher speed. For safety reasons a driver should not drive or stop on the hard shoulder of a motorway except in an emergency or breakdown.

This sign gives advance warning of a T-junction ahead with a road of equal importance. You must give way to traffic already on the road you are joining.

Use the hazard warning lights to warn other road users of a danger ahead. For example, if a drivers vehicle is causing an unavoidable obstruction such as being broken down, they should use the vehicles hazard warning lights to warn other road users of their presence.
