What Kind of Sign Is This?
Information signs give directions, distances and services. They tell you where things are rather than what you must do, so they are never legally binding.

K53 Questions on Information Signs
Straight from the question bank, with the answer and the reason it is correct.
A green rectangular sign shows an arrow and the words "Cape Town 25 km." What type of sign is this?▼
This is a DIRECTION (GUIDE) sign. It informs drivers of the direction to and distance from a named destination. Green signs typically indicate national routes.
A blue rectangular sign shows a white "H" symbol. What does this indicate?▼
A blue rectangle with a white "H" indicates a HOSPITAL or medical facility ahead. Drivers should be aware that emergency vehicles may be entering or exiting and that silence (no hooting) may be required.
A green sign with an arrow shows a specific route number (e.g., N1 or N2). What does this indicate?▼
National route signs (N1, N2, etc.) identify South Africa's national road network. Green signs with route numbers and arrows guide drivers to the correct route direction.
A sign indicates that the road you are travelling on is a 'priority road'. What does this mean?▼
A priority road sign tells you that traffic on the crossing road has to yield to you at the junction ahead. It is information rather than a guarantee — you should still be watching for a driver who has not read their own yield sign.
