A quick reference to some of the most common signs on Singapore roads. Always refer to the official Highway Code and Traffic Police for the full, authoritative set.

Warning signs are white triangles with a red border. These what's ahead: a sharp bend, a pedestrian crossing, an approaching ERP gantry.

Prohibitory signs are circular, with a red border and white background. These typically signal stuff like no entry, no U-turn, speed limits, and so on.

Mandatory signs have blue circles, white symbols, and instructions telling you what you must do. Turn left, keep left, go straight. See a blue circle, follow the white arrow.

Information signs are blue rectangles. Parking areas, one-way streets, expressway entry points, dead ends.
