What is the main purpose of traffic signs?

The main purpose of traffic signs is to communicate important rules and information to drivers. Traffic signs are essential for road safety, guiding drivers on how to navigate roads, obey laws, and ensure the safety of all road users. They provide clear and concise messages regarding speed limits, road conditions, warning of hazards, and instructions for safe driving behavior. This communication helps prevent accidents and promotes orderly and efficient traffic flow.

While vehicle registration information, directions to landmarks, and weather conditions may matter for overall navigation and driving safety, they do not constitute the primary function of traffic signs. Traffic signs are specifically designed to inform and regulate the behavior of drivers on the road.
