Hanoi Truck Driver’s Guide to Traffic Signs

“Signs guide the way, laws guide life.” This old saying holds true, especially for truck drivers, the “giants” on every road. Mastering traffic signs not only ensures safe driving and avoids unnecessary violations but also contributes to a civilized and modern traffic culture.

Classification and Meaning of Traffic Signs

Just like classifying trucks by load capacity, traffic signs are also divided into main groups, each with its own “mission”:

1. Prohibition Signs: As the name suggests, this group indicates prohibited actions that all road users must obey. These signs are typically circular with a red border and white background.

2. Warning Signs: This “warning” group provides information about potential hazards on the road, reminding drivers to be observant, reduce speed, and proactively handle situations. Warning signs are usually equilateral triangles with a red border and yellow background.

3. Mandatory Signs: The “leader” of this group is the stop sign, requiring all vehicles to come to a complete stop. This group also includes signs that guide and instruct vehicles to move according to regulations.

4. Information Signs: If the traffic sign system is considered a “handbook,” then information signs act as the “table of contents,” providing information about directions, distances, and locations, helping drivers easily navigate and choose suitable routes.

5. Supplementary Signs: Always “accompanying” the main signs, supplementary signs provide additional information about time, distance, applicable subjects, etc., for the main signs.
