Regulatory Signs What are they and the 7 most
Common Ones In Australia

• Regulatory road safety signs are perhaps one of
  the most common Australian road signs that we
  pass by on a daily basis. These are basically
  traffic signs that inform the drivers and other
  road users of traffic safety and road regulation
  which everyone must adhere to compulsorily.
• These are generally very easy to identify and
  are mostly represented in black, white, red,
  yellow, and green combinations. The violation of
  these crucial road safety signs can lead to a
  fine and in the worst-case license
  suspension/cancellation.

• Speed-limit Signs
• These regulatory traffic signs act as a warning
  for drivers that shows them the maximum driving
  speed limit they are allowed on a specific road.
  If they are in a zone where there is heavy foot
  and vehicle traffic, ignoring the prime road
  safety regulations and instructions can lead to
  unexpected hazards and heavy fines. Always be on
  the lookout for road work areas where usually the
  speed is limited to a minimum scale for the
  workers safety.
• Stop Signs
• Yet another mandatory critical road safety sign
  youll come across on a regular basis. If you see
  a Stop sign that means you stop your vehicle
  completely. There is absolutely no question as
  this is a big red signboard with STOP written
  in white bold letters.

• School Zone Signs
• The usual speed limit over the Australian School
  zone during the normal pick and drop hours is
  40km/h. However, this scale can vary with states,
  for example in South Australia the speed limit is
  25km/h in presence of a child in the zone and in
  Victoria the 40km/h speed limit applies only if
  the preassigned speed limit after school hours is
  less than 80km/h if it's above that then the
  minimum speed limit during a drop and pick-up
  hours is 60 km/h. So, watch out for these details
  in school zones as the speed control is only
  valid during specific school hours.

• Give Way Signs
• As the name suggests this sign literally means
  giving way to others. This means if you spot one
  of the Give Way signs, you dont completely
  halt but you slow prepare to stop and give way to
  other vehicles. This is mostly applicable in
  critical zones like hospital areas so always make
  sure you give special attention to these
  regulatory road signs.
• Traffic Regulation Signs
• These are mainly installed to ensure the smooth
  flow of traffic. They manage the safe and smooth
  flow of traffic on the road. Some of the common
  traffic regulation signs include Keep left, One
  Way, Two way and other restricted regulatory
  signs.

• Clearway Signs
• These are mostly found in areas of heavy traffic
  where you see a lot of vehicles filled at all
  times making it difficult to park. A clear way
  sign is an exclusive no parking kind of sign set
  during the rush hours of the day. Outside the
  peaks, the vehicles are allowed to park in the
  specified area only for the hours mentioned on
  the board.

• Parking signs
• These are exclusive regulation signs that are
  found in parking areas. There are different
  varieties instructing different actions to
  drivers and pedestrians in the installed zones to
  ensure smooth traffic flow. Some of the commonly
  spotted parking signs include-No Parking (means
  you cant park your vehicles there), No
  Standing (means you cant stop your vehicles on
  that spot for a momentary time), also there is a
  certain set of a restricted set of parking signs
  exclusively for heavy vehicles, taxis, buses,
  etc.
