Road Signs

Today i will be looking at road signs and their variations.


These signs with the red triangles are warnings, they are used to warn drivers of incoming obstacles such as pedestrians, bridges and steep slopes.










The signs shown here are used to inform drivers of upcoming objects such as which roads are one way only, the distance to an exit, merging lanes and best cycle routes.







These signs are mainly used for prohibitive purposes such as max speed limit restrictions, entry into a speed restricted zone, notification of national speed limits and warning of school crossing patrols.

The ideology of signs could be used in a game. for example, if you are making a puzzle/adventure game there will have to be some indication on what to do and where to go, so a sign could be useful, one a couple could be used to display choices the player could make to progress. Also signs could be used as symbols for power-ups in arcade and top-down shooter games.
