Introduction:
To get a DRIVER'S LICENSE in the Philippines, you need to passthe
LTO (Land Transportation Office) Driver's License Exam. And part
of that exam is identifying the traffic signs and road signs in the
Philippines.
If you want to pass the exam and get a high score, you need to study thec
ommon traffic/road signs in the Philippines. These traffic signs are
the signs that you see erected at the side or above the road. Be
aware of these signs when you drive or travel in the road

Understanding road traffic signs is crucial aspect of driving a car or riding

a bike. These sign act as guides for drivers as well as the pedestrians.
Coordination is necessary skill when it comes to following traffic rules in
India and Road Traffic Signs help you and other drivers coordinate with
respect to speed and direction. These signs prompt drivers to take a
particular action which is expected to be followed by every driver for a
smooth ride. Just as the meaning three lights on a traffic signal is
understood by everyone, it is expected of the drivers to understand the
meaning of road sign as well.

Type of Road Traffic Signs and Their Relevance

Type of Road Traffic Signs
Unlike a traffic signal, there are more than three traffic signs. For basic
understanding, they can be clubbed under the following three types:
 Mandatory Signs
No entry, Stop, Speed Limit, etc. are mandatory signs. Not following
them is a punishable offense. For example, you can be fined if you
drive your vehicle in a one-way lane from the wrong side and violate
traffic rules. These signs ensure that all vehicles follow a similar
pattern and there is no chaos on the road.

 Cautionary Signs
Right hand curve, slippery road, Narrow Bridge, etc. are cautionary
signs. These signs also warn the driver regarding the immediate action
to be taken. They alert the driver early about what’s coming next.
Drivers can control their speed, adjust their lane positioning, etc.
depending upon the cautionary signed display.

 Informative Signs
These signs might have not a direct impact on your driving but they
surely are helpful. School ahead, Hospital Nearby, etc. are some of the
informative signs that can be seen on roadways. They provide the
necessary information and you can choose to act accordingly if the
information concerns you.

It is common notion that traffic rules in India are not that strict and
people tweak them as per their convenience. However, not following
the road traffic signs can not only lead to penalties but also to cause
accidents.

It is important for every driver to know and understand road traffic

signs and follow the traffic rules. Thus, identifying these road traffic
signs is a part of the test conducted before handling out a Drivers
License. It is suggested to acquaint oneself with various road traffic
signs before applying for a Drivers License. The test comprises of
questions wherein you have to look at the road traffic sign and mention
what it means. There are multiple choice options available out of which
you to need to pick the right answer. This examination is conducted at
the Land Transportation Office (LTO) Regional Office and it is part of
the learning license procedure. A learning licenses is the first step
toward getting a driver license.

Safe Driving
It is an unmentioned rule that one should always drive safely. Over
speeding, driving under the influence of intoxicating substance, etc.
are strict traffic rules. The road traffic signs need to be followed
religiously by all drivers. Make a point to keep your driving license,
vehicles insurance policy, pollution under control (PUC)certificate and
the registration certificate with you while driving.
Ensure to renew your car insurance policy in a timely manner. An
expired vehicle insurance policy is of no use. It is mandatory to insure
your car with at least third-party liability insurance policy. However, it
is suggested to opt Comprehensive Vehicle Policy for wider coverage.

10 Reasons Why Traffic Signs are Important

 The very first traffic signs were simple stone columns. The romans
used them to let the travelers know how close they were to the city.
Traffic signs as we know them began to appear with the invention of
the car, as car needed signs that warned them about obstacles. These
signs continued to evolve as cars hit the roads. Today, most of us don’t
think that much about traffic signs. Why are they so important

1.They provide consistent rules of all drivers

Across a country, traffic signs are all consistent. In, the United States,
you’ll find the same sign for “yield” in Portland, Maine and the Portland,
Oregon. If signs weren’t consistent, it would be very dangerous. While
there’s no guarantee that everyone will follow the rules at all times., there
are consequences if they don’t.

2.Anyone can understand them

A sign’s design is significant. Rather than depend on words, traffic signs

frequently use pictures to convey a message, like animals crossing or
children at play. These matters because it helps anyone understand the
sign’s meaning, even if they don’t speak the language of the country.
Colors matter too. Red tells a driver they should stop or yield, while yellow
signifies caution.

3.They give you warnings about things that aren’t necessarily obvious

Traffic signs do more that just tell you the speed limit or when to stop.
Temporary signs, like signs around construction zones, let you know that
your normal route may be different or that you should watch out for
people working. Winding-road and ice-on-bridge signs are also important
because these are things you wouldn’t see until you’re on top of them.
Without certain traffic signs, you’d be surprise by potentially dangerous
obstacles.

4.Traffic signs keep drivers safe

Driver safety is the most obvious benefit of traffic signs. Without them,
our roads would be chaotic and dangerous. Drivers would have no idea
when they should stop, yield, or how fast they should go. They wouldn’t
be aware of upcoming obstacles. The lack of signage would also give
reckless drivers in danger. Traffic signs make the rules clear and keep
drivers safe.

5.Traffic signs keep pedestrian and cyclists safe

Traffic signs don’t only protect those behind the wheel of car. Pedestrians
and cyclists use the road, as well. Signs let people know when and where
they can cross a road, and alert drivers to their presence. Cyclist can see
where they’re allowed, where the bike routes are, and if they should yield
to pedestrians. By following the rules, everyone can share spaces safely.

6.Traffic signs manage traffic flow

Traffic is serious issue in many cities. There are so many cars on the road
it can get chaotic very quickly. Traffic signs help address are some of the
issues, so traffic flows more easily and there are fewer accidents. Four-
way stops, yields, right turns on red, and more are all communicated with
signs.

7.Traffic signs help you get to where you want

Traffic signs give valuable information about how far you are from places,
when you need to turn, and street names. Without these signs, everyone

would need to rely on landmarks, but if you’re unfamiliar with an area, it
would take forever to get to your destination. Traffic signs make travelling
easier and less stressful.
8.Traffic signs are important for new drivers

For more experience drivers, driving can become second-nature. Most of

us have specific routes we travel often, so we don’t think about the street
signs that often. However, for new drivers, they’re still learning routes.
They’re taught what different signs mean in class, so when they start
driving, they depend on them “in the wild” to know what to do.

9.Traffic signs are not finished project

Traffic signs have evolved a lot over the years and they’re not finished
yet. In fact, it’s a big area of innovation as cities debate what changes
could make the roads safer. Different types of LEDs, solar power, and
more dynamic designs have studied, while some people wonder if traffic
signs could be done away with completely. About ten years ago a German
town got rid of all traffic signs and lights and reduced the speed limit. The
hope was that drivers would think more for themselves and be come more
vigilant. This isn’t something that would work for every town or city, of
course, but it does show that traffic signs are still in an area of discussion.

10.Your taxes pay for Traffic Signs

The last reason why traffic signs are important is that taxes pay for them.
In 2017, local governments spent 100 billion on highways and roads,
including signage. You should care about signs and how effective they are
because you pay for them. If you want something to change and believed
a traffic sign could make your community safer, you can do something
about it.

Traffic signs provide valuable information to drivers and other road users.
They represent rules that are in place to keep you safe, and help to
communicate messages to drivers and pedestrians that can maintain
order and reduce accidents. Neglecting them can be dangerous.

Most signs make use of pictures, rather than words, so that they are easy
to understand and can be interpreted by people who speak variety of
languages. For this reason, it’s important that you know what each
pictures represents, and that you used them to inform your driving. Failing
to do so could result in a serious accident or a fine.

What Do the Different Traffic Signs Mean?

Traffic signs come in variety of shapes and colors, and each has a specific
meaning. The different shapes and colors are there to help you identify a
sign as quickly possible, without interrupting you’re driving.
According to Traffic Management Group, the various road traffic signs are
classified into Four main groups and sub categories, for example:

1. Regulatory: Control/Command/Prohibition/Reservation
2. Warning: Road Layout/Direction of Movement
3. Guidance: Location/Route Markers/Directions
4. Temporary: Command/Prohibition

A. Regulatory Signs

Regulatory signs are very common and are used to tell drivers what they can
and cannot do. On any one trip, you are likely to spot a number of the more
common regulatory signs – such as the Stop Sign, Yield Sign, No-Turn On Red
Sign, or Speed Limit Sign.
Due to the prevalence and importance of regulatory signs, they are one of the
first things a beginner driver should learn by heart. If you intend to drive in
traffic, you simply must know about the common regulatory signs.
Regulatory signs are traffic signs that regulate traffic (hence the name)
by giving directions that must be obeyed. They are used to help road
users drive safely by reinforcing traffic laws and regulations. The laws and
regulations reinforced by the regulatory sign apply either at all times or during
the specified times mentioned on the sign.

 C. Direction Signs (Guidance)
A direction sign, more fully defined as a direction, position, or indication
sign by the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, is any road sign
used primarily to give information about the location of either the driver
or possible destinations, and are considered a subset of the informative
signs group.

Shows directions to nearby towns and cities.

Shows the distances in kilometres to towns and cities on the road.

Various exit signs are used on freeways. In urban areas, many exit ramps
have more than one lane. Overhead and ground-mounted signs help
drivers choose the correct lane to exit or stay on the freeway.

Advance signs use arrows to show which lanes lead off the freeway. Signs
are also posted at the exit.

Sometimes one or more lanes may lead off the freeway. The arrows
matching the exit lanes are shown on the advance sign in a yellow box
with the word ‘exit' under them.

Freeway interchanges or exits have numbers that correspond to the

distance from the beginning of the freeway. For example, interchange
number 204 on Highway 401 is 204 kilometres from Windsor, where the
freeway begins. Distances can be calculated by subtracting one
interchange number from another.

The term 'VIA' is used to describe the roads that must be followed to
reach a destination.

Speed signs are some of the most important and common traffic signs
you’ll find on the road, and its crucial that you obey them. Speed signs are
round signs with a red circle around the edge and a black number inside.
The number indicates the maximum speed (in kilometers per hour) you
are permitted to drive in that area. It applies until you see another sign,
indicating that the limit has changed. As you leave a major city, you’ll
likely find that numbers on a speed sign go up from 60 to 80 to 100 and
finally 120, which is the maximum speed limit on highways.

Road signs that have blue background and a number written in a white
inside them indicate the minimum speed limit in that area. A blue sign
with the number 50 written in it means that you cannot drive slower than
50km/h no matter which lane you are travelling in.

Why Should You Teach Your Children about Road Signs?

Even your children aren’t old enough to drive just yet, its important that
they know how to recognize and interpret the traffic signs around them.
Many signs apply not only to drivers, but to pedestrians too, and children
who are able to read these signs correctly are more likely to stay safe as
they walk along on cross roads.

Teach your children what stop and pedestrian crossing signs look like, as
well as any signs that are found near their schools and playgrounds.
Children also need to know that just because these signs are in place, it
doesn’t mean they can walk across a road without looking. They have to
respect cars and other vehicles, and must always look left and right.

Remember, too, that children learn how to behave on the roads from their
parents- they’re watching your every move. The better you adhere to

After reading this information sheet you should be able to;
1. Explain about Road Surface
2. Classify and types of Machine Marking
3. Modify the useful of Road Marking

Introduction

Road surface markings is any kind of device or material that is used on a

road surface in order to convey official information; they are commonly
place with road marking machine (or road marking equipment, pavement
marking equipment). They can also be applied in other facilities used by
vehicles to mark parking spaces or designate areas for other users.

Road surface markings are used on paved roadways to provide guidance

and information to drivers and pedestrians. Uniformity of the markings is
an important factor in minimizing confusion and uncertainly about their
meaning, and efforts exist to standardize such markings across borders.
However, countries and areas categorize and specify road surface
markings in different ways-white lines are called white lines mechanical,
non-mechanical or temporary. They can be used to delineate traffic lanes,
inform motorists and pedestrians or serve as noise generators when run
across a road, or attempt to wake a sleeping driver when installed in the
shoulders of a road. Road surface marking can be also indicating
regulation for parking and stopping.

Mechanical Markers

Mechanical devices may be raised or recessed into the road surface, and
either reflective or non-reflective. Most are permanent; some are
movable.

1.Cat’s Eye, invented by Percy Shaw in the 1930s, Cats eyes equip many
major routes. They consist of four reflective lenses mounted in a durable

white rubber housing, two facing fore and two facing aft. The housing is
mounted within a cast iron shoe, which the rubber housing sinks in to
when driven over. This provides protection from snow ploughing and
allows the lenses to be self-cleaning-they pass rubber colors, mainly
white, yellow/orange, green, red and blue.

2.Botts dots (low rounded white or yellow dots), named for the California
Caltrans engineer Elbert Botts, who invented the epoxy that keeps them
glued down, are one type of mechanical non-reflective raised marker.
Generally, they are used to mark the edges of traffic lanes, frequently in
conjunction with raised reflective markers. Botts dots are also used across
a travel lane to draw the drivers to toll booths, school zones or other
significant reduction of speed limit. They are normally only used in warn
climates since snow plows usually remove them along with the snow.

3.Rumble Strips are commonly used for the same purposes. A rumble
strip can be a series of simple troughs, typically 1cm (0.4in) deep and
10cm (4 in) wide, that is ground out of the asphalt. Other alternatives,
similar to the Botts dots, used raised strips, painted or glued to the
surface. A specific form of raised strips using thermoplastic is called
profile thermoplastic markings. The markings are created by fusing
thermoplastic to the pavement and create alternative elevation and
recession patter. This can be done as inverted-profile markings or raised-
profile markings. Inverted profile markings are created by pressing a cog
rolling over the markings while they are wet to make them corrugated.
Raised profile markings are created by extruding extra thickness of
thermoplastic at a specific interval to create bumps. Raised profile
markings are sometime known as convex traffic lines. Uses of rumble
strips can be across the travel direction (to warn of hazards ahead) or
along the travel direction (to warn of hazards staying within a specific
lane). Their main way of function is creating a strong vibration when
driven over that will alert a driver to various upcoming hazards both by
sound and the physical vibration of the vehicle.

4. Reflective Markers are used as travel lane drivers, to mark the

central (median) reservation or to mark exit slip roads. Incorporating
a raised retro reflective element, they are typically more visible at
night in inclement weather than standard road markings lines. The
color of the markers varies depending on the country of use;
freeway in the United States often use reflectors manufactured to
appear white to drivers proceeding in the proper direction of travel,
and appear red on the reverse to warn drivers that they are
proceeding against the proper direction of travel, creating a danger
of a head-on collision.

Machine Marking Types

 Air spray is a method od marking the uses compressed air to

spray the paint onto the road surface. The finely atomized
paint produced a thin smooth layer, but the rebounding air
flow causes significant paint scattering. This produces
somewhat sloppy markings.
 High-pressure Airless Spraying uses a high-pressure airless
pump to spray the paint. The atomized paint is not so fine and
smooth as air spray, but there is no high-speed air flow to
scatter any rebounding paint. The marked lines are neat. This
method can apply paints of high viscosity, and apply relatively
thick layers in a single pass.

Auxiliary Equipment

Other equipment is often used with road marking machine. The main
auxiliary equipment includes thermoplastic paint pre-heaters, hand-push
pre-markers and road markers removers. Thermoplastic paint pre-heater
is used to melt the solid powder coating into a viscous liquid, providing a
steady supply of paint to the marking machine. Pre-markers are used to
draw a field sketch in advance to avoid faulty marking. Road marking
removers are used to remove old or incorrect markings. Large self-
propelled machines usually do not need any support equipment, as
equivalent functionality is built in.

Temporary Markers

Traffic cones are sometimes used to separate high-occupancy vehicle

lanes from regular traffic lanes. They are also used in areas where lanes
are used at different times for travel in both directions. These cones have
shafts that drop into holes in the road surface. A good example of this
type of use was the golden gate bridge in San Francisco, before they
switch to a moveable barrier system.

Removable tapes can also be used in road construction sites as temporary

markers. The tapes can be placed to shift the lanes and black tapes can
be used to temporarily black out the existing markings. At the end of the
construction or within 6 months, the tapes can be pulled out of the
surface without using heat, solvents or machines.

Road Markings

Road marking are psychological barrier and an important component of a

highway, which function in guiding and controlling the traffic. It also

channelizes the pedestrians and cyclist’s movement into a safe location
ensuring smooth and orderly flow of traffic and for promoting road safety.

In this article, we discuss 7 types of road marking classified based on the

placement of markings with regard to vehicular movement and also based
on the function of the markings.

1.Longitudinal Markings
The main purpose of longitudinal marking is o guide and navigate the
driver for forwarding movements and to prohibit overtaking maneuvering
at certain at hazardous locations to avoid sideswipes and head-on collision
accidents.

The longitudinal markings are usually in white and yellow color, where
white is used prominently and yellow is used where it is strictly prohibited
not to be straddles by the vehicles. The classification of longitudinal
marking is listed in the table below.

2.Transverse Markings
The transverse markings are provided across the carriageway for the
purpose of traffic control with broken lines, single/double continuous lines
such as stop marking and give-way marking. These transverse markings
are always accompanied with corresponding signs.

The classification of transverse marking is listed in the table below-

Table 2: Transverse Marking in Highways as per IRC 35

3.Hazard Marking

The hazard markings facilitate the major actions of the vehicles such as
traffic merging/diverging, prohibiting to cross-over, and deflecting the
traffic ahead of hazardous situations. These markings are generally done

Pavement Markings are used to convey messages to roadway users.
They indicate which part of the road to use, provide information about
conditions ahead, and indicate where passing is allowed.
Pavement markings such as solid yellow lines and painted symbols are used
to divide lanes, as well as indicate when it’s legal to pass, safe for changing
lanes, turn, and when you have to stop.
We’ll go through these different types of road markings and their meanings
today.

 White Lines
 Yellow Lines
 Edge Lines
 Arrows
 Reversible Lanes
 HOV-Lanes

White Road Lines

White lines separate traffic traveling in the same direction. There are
three types of white lines- single broken, single solid, and double solid.

You may cross single broken white lines to change lanes when safe.

Single Solid White Lines

You must not cross single solid white lines unless to avoid a hazard. Many
drivers fail to obey this at traffic light intersections, which creates a dangerous
situation for everyone.

Double Solid White Lines

You must not cross double solid white lines for any reason as they indicate a
barrier.

Yellow Road Lines

Yellow lines separate traffic traveling in opposite directions.

Broken Yellow Line

You may, if safe, cross broken yellow lines to pass a vehicle in front. Make
sure that the road ahead is clear before passing.

 Your lane is blocked or closed and signs indicate you must drive on the
other side of the lines
 Traveling in an HOV lane with a designated entrance to the left of the
lines

There may be additional exceptions depending on where you live.

What are Edge Lines?

Edge lines are solid pavement lines along the side of the road. They indicate
where the lane ends and where the road shoulder begins. There are two types
of edge lines:

 A solid white edge line – indicates the right edge of the pavement
 A solid yellow edge line – indicates the left edge of the pavement on
divided highways and one-way streets

 one direction – only drive in the designated direction

 two directions – you may drive in either direction

Place yourself in the correct lane well in advance of an arrow so you don’t
have to make last-minute lane changes.

What are Reversible Lanes?

Reversible traffic lanes improve traffic flow during the busiest time.

Reversible traffic lanes exist on some highways to improve traffic flow during
rush hours. Reversible lanes are marked by traffic signs, pavement markings,
and lane signals.
Generally, a reversible lane will be open in one direction during the morning
commute, and in the other direction in the afternoon.

Diamond Symbols / HOV Lanes

Road markings for HOV lanes are marked on the road as a diamond
symbol

Diamond symbols are used to indicate special purpose lanes, such as lanes
reserved for High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV). Unless you comply with the
requirements of the HOV lane, you must not drive in a lane with diamond
pavement symbols.

Look for signs indicating who may drive in a HOV lane

HOV lanes are restricted traffic lanes where only vehicles with a certain
number of occupants (usually 2 or more) are allowed to use. Some vehicles
like buses, motorcycles, and low-emission vehicles are exceptions to the rule
and can use the HOV lanes at any time.
There may also be restrictions at certain times of the day and day of
the week. Some states allow eligible energy-efficient vehicles to drive any
time of the day bypassing the HOV lane restrictions. Follow the HOV lane
rules! Enter and exit only at designated points.
