Ontario M1 Motorcycle Test - Signs 2

These are found in some areas to help traffic get through an intersection safely without necessarily stopping the flow of the traffic.

Vehicles are not permitted to enter this road. Drivers should plan their routes ahead. Even if a GPS indicates that the driver should enter the road, drivers are not permitted to enter. Drivers should find an alternate route to their destination.

Drivers are not permitted to turn right when the traffic light is red. This sign appears at intersections where it is unsafe for drivers to turn right when the traffic light is red, such as at intersections when two lanes of oncoming traffic have an advanced green light: the lane may be occupied by oncoming traffic.

Right lane ends ahead. Drivers should merge into the left lane. Be certain to signal, complete a proper shoulder check, and change to the left lane when it is safe to do so.

Drivers are not permitted to pass along this section of the road. This sign usually appears when road conditions make it unsafe to pass. Drivers must not pass other vehicles. If a vehicle ahead is travelling slowly, drivers should adjust their speed accordingly, and pass only when signage permits and it is safe to do so.

Dangerous goods may be transported along this roadway. Drivers transporting dangerous goods must follow all relevant laws regulating the transport of dangerous goods.

The road ahead curves or bends; be prepared to adjust speed if necessary.

Deer regularly cross the road in this area; slow down and drive with caution. Be prepared to stop or take action to avoid deer on the road. Deer are large, heavy animals. Colliding with a deer can cause serious damage to the vehicle and injury or death to its occupants.

Cyclists are not permitted on the road. Drivers must always be cautious and take appropriate measures to avoid cyclists, even if the cyclists are in the wrong.

Two-way traffic begins ahead. Use caution, and keep to the right side of the road.

Pedestrians are permitted to use the roadway, and may be crossing the road. Be prepared to share the road with pedestrians. Yield the right-of-way to pedestrians on the road.

Pedestrians are not permitted to walk on or cross the road. Drivers must always be cautious and take appropriate measures to avoid pedestrians, even if the pedestrians are in the wrong.

The roadway ahead may be under water. This can happen in low-lying areas where creeks or rivers regularly overflow their banks. Slow down and proceed with caution. If the water is too deep, do not cross: find an alternate route.

Traffic driving in the direction of the arrow has the right-of-way at the intersection ahead. Drivers should be cautious when approaching the intersection in case other traffic does not stop. When approaching any intersection, drivers should always check left-center-right to ensure the intersection is clear and it is safe to proceed.

Dangerous goods may not be transported along this roadway. Drivers transporting dangerous goods must plan their route appropriately. They may not travel along this roadway.

Drivers are not permitted to turn left during the time periods indicated on the sign. This is usually due to traffic patterns in the area. During the time periods indicated, drivers should plan an alternate route to their destination.

This sign usually appears on a special center lane in the roadway. The lane indicated by this sign permits vehicles in either direction to enter the lane in order to make a left turn. Drivers should enter the lane, then turn left when it is safe to do so. This lane is not a driving lane. Do not drive along this lane; do not pass in this lane. Yield the lane to other vehicles already in the lane.

A new road branches off to the right ahead. Drivers should have their route planned and know which direction to take. If planning to take the right road, drivers should be prepared to adjust their speed as necessary. Drivers planning to continue on the original road should be prepared to slow down in case the vehicle ahead slows down to take the roadway to the right.

Pavement is slippery when wet. Slow down and drive with caution when the pavement is wet. Sudden sharp braking in wet conditions may result in skids, fishtailing, or even spin outs. Use caution when braking.

Bicycles cross the road ahead. Be prepared to stop and yield the right-of-way to cyclists.

The road curves ahead. Adjust speed if necessary.

Warning Sign: Share the Road with Oncoming Traffic. Drive with caution; do not pass unless it is safe to do so.

Traffic on the road travels in one direction only. Do not travel in the opposite direction of the arrow. Even if a GPS says to travel the opposite direction of the sign, drivers must not do so. Find an alternate route to the destination.

Drivers must stop the vehicle completely by applying the brakes firmly and ensuring that the vehicle has stopped moving. "Pausing" the vehicle by braking slightly, then continuing through the intersection without stopping completely (also known as a "rolling stop") is not considered a complete stop. Drivers who do not come to a complete stop can be charged by the police. Once the vehicle is fully stopped, drivers should wait until the way is clear before entering the intersection.

Construction ahead. Drivers should adjust speed and be prepared to stop if necessary. Use caution when driving as there may be construction workers on duty. Be alert and watch for other related construction signs.

Parking prohibited as indicated. These signs occur in pairs or groups.

The road ends at the sign. Do not attempt to drive beyond the sign. Drivers should plan an appropriate route to their destination.

Steep hill ahead. Drivers should be prepared to brake, and may need to change to a lower gear. The number on the sign indicates the grade (steepness) of the hill.

Pavement narrows ahead. Drive with caution.

Temporary Sign: Construction – Veer Left. This sign warns drivers that the direction of the road has been altered due to construction. Drive in the direction indicated by the sign.
