Prohibitory Signs · Informatory & Direction Signs
Prohibitory signs are the "must not" sub-type of Regulatory signs, with a red border or red circle, telling you what you're not permitted to do.
In this lesson you'll learn
- Prohibitory signs as the "must not" half of Regulatory signs — the complete official list from the handbook, organised by what they restrict
- How to distinguish a vehicle-type prohibition from a general movement prohibition
- Informatory signs — what "Information Signs" actually cover in Kenya's official system, and where the boundary with Regulatory signs gets blurry in practice.
- 1. Prohibitory Signs: The Complete Official ListRecognise the four families of prohibitory sign and distinguish a vehicle-type prohibition from a movement prohibition.
- 2. Information Signs, and the Category That Doesn't Quite FitExplain what Information signs cover, and why some clearly informational signs are filed under Regulatory in official material.
- 3. Guidance Signs and Lane DesignationRead a lane-designation sign early enough to act on it, and state which direction traffic circulates on a roundabout.
