vic road sign meanings Page 58

Victorian road signs aren’t random street art—they’re a language with rules, and your licence is the dictionary.

Regulatory signs (red/white or black/white) are the law: STOP (octagon), GIVE WAY (triangle), speed limits, NO U-TURN—ignore them and the tax office thanks you.

Warning signs (yellow/black) flag hazards ahead—curves, narrow bridges, wildlife—and mean slow down now, not after the skid.

Guide and information signs (green/white and blue/white) help with routes, exits and services, while tourist signs are brown and point to attractions.

Roadworks signs are orange, temporary and very serious; the reduced limit applies even if the workers are on smoko somewhere else.

Shapes and symbols matter, so learn them—then check VicRoads’ official materials for the full catalogue before your next theory-test victory lap.
