STOPWhen there is a STEADY RED LIGHT, you must stop before crossing the marked stop line or crosswalk. If you do not see any lines, stop before entering the intersection. Wait for a green light 
before you start. You may turn right while the light is red, unless a NO TURN ON RED sign is posted at the intersection. You must first stop, check for and yield to pedestrians and other traffic. You may also turn left after you stop at a red light, if you are in the left lane and are turning left from a one-way street onto another one-way street, unless a sign tells you not to turn. You must first stop and 
yield to pedestrians and other traffic. 
 ------ 
SLOW DOWN AND STOPA STEADY YELLOW LIGHT tells you a steady red light will soon appear. If you are driving toward an 
intersection and a yellow light appears, slow down and prepare to stop. If you are within the 
intersection or cannot stop safely before entering the intersection, continue through carefully. 
 ------ 
GOA STEADY GREEN LIGHT means you may drive through the intersection, if the road is clear. You may 
also turn right or left unless a sign tells you not to; however, when turning, you must yield to other 
vehicles and pedestrians within the intersection. 
 ------ 
SPEED LIMITA SPEED LIMIT sign indicates the maximum legal 
speed for the stretch of highway where it is posted. 
Your safety may depend upon driving slower than 
the posted speed under poor conditions.

PEDESTRIAN CROSSING 
Used at a marked crosswalk or in advance of locations where pedestrians may be crossing your path. Be prepared to slow down or stop, if necessary. This sign may have either a yellow background (as shown) or a fluorescent yellow-green background.  ------ 
STOPThe STOP sign is the only octagon-shaped (8-sided) sign you see on the highway. At an intersection with a STOP sign, you must stop completely, check for pedestrians and cross traffic to clear the intersection before you go again. Slowing down without coming to a full stop is illegal.  When you see a crosswalk or a stop line, stop before the front of your vehicle reaches the painted line. If you cannot see traffic, yield to any pedestrians and then carefully pull forward past the line 
until you can see clearly. Check for traffic and pedestrians and then go ahead when the intersection is clear.

YIELD (SLOW DOWN)YIELD signs are triangular (3-sided) in shape. When you see this sign, you must slow down and check for traffic and give the right-of-way to pedestrians and approaching cross traffic. You stop only when it is necessary. Proceed when you can do so safely without interfering with normal traffic flow. Remember, you must have a sufficient gap in traffic before you can continue on at either STOP or YIELD sign locations.

DO NOT ENTERThe DO NOT ENTER sign is put at the beginning of one-way streets and ramps. When you see this sign, do not drive onto that street or ramp in the direction you are heading.  ------ 
WRONG WAYWrong way signs are placed farther down the one-way street or ramp. They are placed there to catch your attention, if you accidentally turn onto the street or ramp. ------ 
ONE WAYThe ONE WAY sign means traffic is allowed to move only in the direction the sign is pointing. 
If you turn onto a one-way street traveling in the opposite direction, you are likely to get into 
a head-on collision.  ------
