I’m going to talk about road signs. In Japan, there are two types of road sign. It is main sign and subsidiary sign, in Japanese, we say “Hojo Hyoushiki”. Main sign is separated by signpost, caution sign, regulation sign and instruction sign.
So, I explain these signs. First, Signpost shows place-name and leading to destination on junction. Next, caution sign shows that we have to watch for around. This sign is formed by diamond shape, and color is yellow and black edge. Next, regulation sign shows prohibition and limit on something like behavior. Most of these signs are round and the reverse triangle. Lastly, instruction sign shows something permission or order, and shows instruction on the road. This sign is square, and a white illustration on a blue field.
In foreign countries, most signs are similar to Japanese. However, there are a little different in color and design. In Japan, top speed sign is round. However, in America, this sign is square on a white field. It is very different.
