How they are visually identified
The triangular warning shape combined with directional arrows signals a change in movement ahead.
Materials and design proportions
Designs follow fixed layouts and proportions defined in the Manual, with reflective signfaces to maintain visibility in day and night conditions.
Approved sizes
