Quick interpretation of road signs

Road signs are a type of traffic signs. Their main function is to provide drivers with directional guidance and information tips to help them better plan their routes and avoid going the wrong way or getting lost. At the same time, road signs can also improve road traffic efficiency and reduce traffic congestion and accident risks.

Road signs commonly used on general roads include place names, boundaries, directions, milestones, 100-meter piles, and highway boundary markers. Place name signs are set at the edge of towns; boundary signs are set at the boundaries of administrative divisions and maintenance sections; direction signs are set 30-50 meters away from forks.
