Okay kiddo, have you ever been in a car with your parents and seen those signs by the road that tell you to stop, yield, or go a certain speed? Those are called traffic signs, and they are very important because they help keep us safe while we're driving.
There are different kinds of traffic signs, each with its own shape and color to help us understand what they mean. The most common ones you will see are:
1. Stop Sign: This is a red, octagonal sign that tells drivers to come to a complete stop before proceeding.
2. Yield Sign: This is a red and white triangular sign that tells drivers to slow down and watch out for other vehicles before proceeding.
3. Speed Limit Sign: This is a white, rectangular sign with black letters that tells drivers the maximum speed limit for that particular road.
4. No Parking Sign: This is a red and white rectangular sign that tells drivers they cannot park their cars in that area.
5. Crosswalk Sign: This is a yellow sign that shows two people crossing the road and tells drivers to watch out for pedestrians.
So the signs are like instructions that help drivers know what to do and how to behave on the road. It's important to pay attention to these signs so we can stay safe and avoid accidents.
