About The seven categories of traffic signs (appendix 1): which statement is correct?
- ✓ Command signs (round, blue) are a separate category from category C (round, red border).
- A traffic sign with a command or prohibition is a strong recommendation, not a hard requirement.
- The overtaking-ban sign (F1) belongs to category C, because it is a round sign with a red border like the other prohibition signs.
- The priority-road sign (B1) is a triangle, just like a warning sign.
Correct answer: Command signs (round, blue) are a separate category from category C (round, red border).
Explanation
Command signs (round, blue) are a separate category from category C (round, red border). Round only tells you 'command or prohibition', not which of the two
Why learners get this wrong
- Road users are required to comply with traffic signs that contain a command or prohibition. That is a statutory duty, not advice
- F1 is listed literally under 'Other commands and prohibitions', not under chapter C 'Closure'. Appearance does not determine the classification
- B1 (priority road) has its own yellow diamond shape, not a triangle. The triangle with a red border is the appearance of category J (warning)
