ROAD SAFETY
Why Warning Signs Matter
Warning signs help drivers recognise potential hazards before reaching them. Seeing a warning sign gives the driver additional time to slow down, observe the road and respond safely.
Drivers should pay attention to warning signs, adjust their speed to the road conditions and remain prepared for pedestrians, vehicles and unexpected hazards.
Understanding traffic signs is also useful when preparing for a driving licence test and RTO learner licence examination.
