ROAD SIGNS
Mandatory signs:
These road signs inform drivers/riders of the traffic rules that apply on
a certain stretch of road, thereby instructing them on how to drive/ride. Mandatory signs
are distinguished by the bright red circle with black and blue markings. It is imperative that
all riders follow these signs as they help avoid accidents. Their violation can be penalised
