Mandatory Road signs:

·        These signs are obligatory on the traffic which uses a specific area of road. These signs indicate what must one do, rather than must not do.

·        Mandatory Road signs are generally round in shape with red border. Some of them are blue in colour. 'Stop' and 'Give Way' are octagon and triangular, respectively, in shape.

·        Violation of these signs attracts heavy fines and punishments. Importantly, violation of these could lead to major accidents also.

SPEED LIMIT:

·        This sign designates the speed, as specified in the sign, of traffic on road.

·        The limit specified must be invariable followed to avoid penal action and accidents on the road.

WIDTH LIMIT:

·        This sign indicates the width of the vehicle, which is allowed to enter the zone beyond its installation.

·        The vehicle with width above 2 meters is restricted to enter this zone.

·        This could a bridge or a narrow lane.

HEIGHT LIMIT:

·        There are certain roads which pass under bridges, railway lines etc. of low height.

·        To avoid any untoward incident authorities earmark height of vehicle which can easily pass under the bridge.

·        The specified limit should be strictly adhered to avoid accidents and penal action.
