Difference between revisions of "Yuunli traffic signs"

Revision as of 12:17, 7 September 2005

Traffic signs in Yuunli and Bùngöwhe can be classified into four categories:

• Warning signs are white triangles with a thick red edge and black icons
  • Right-of-way (yield) signs are triangles within a red-edge circle, so they can be distinguished from a great distance
• Prohibition signs are yellow diamonds with a black edge and black icons
• Mandatory signs are blue circles with a white edge and white icons
• Direction signs are green rectangles with white lettering for major highways, and white rectangles with black lettering for other roads
