AutoJoshNG:
Road traffic signs serve several purposes: some road signs are placed on roads to point out directions to motorists; some are placed there to ensure the safety of motorists and pedestrians; some are there to give us an idea of what to expect ahead of us, etc.

Technically, road signs are traffic languages. They communicate specific messages to motorists and pedestrians.

Every motorist – and in some cases, pedestrians – are expected to have an understanding of what these signs represent.

It is because of this that the teaching of road traffic signs and their meanings are an essential topic taught at driving schools. Unfortunately, most motorists in Nigeria did not pass through formal driving schools.

Road signs are typically represented as symbols or annotations. In Nigeria, there is an enormous lack of understanding of what these symbols used in road signs represent. And as such, it is very common in Nigeria for the authorities in charge of producing road signs to produce road signs with symbols together with their meanings spelt out on them.

Anyway, Autojosh presents an explanation of 15 common road signs that most Nigerian motorists do not know their meanings.




PED Xing

This sign is one of the most confusing road signs that motorists come across in Nigeria. However, it is better understood when represented in its pictorial form. It actually means, “Pedestrian crossing”. This sign is often placed ahead of or near zebra crossings.






No Entry/ Do Not Enter

This sign is used to indicate that there is no entry for vehicular traffic. It is placed at the exit of some roads to inform motorist that they cannot drive into that road. It is often used at intersections to roads with one-way traffic.







No Stopping

A ‘No Stopping’ sign instructs motorists to keep moving and must not stop at any time, not for a minute, not for a second, not for a jiffy, on the road or in an area to which the ‘No Stopping’ sign applies.






Turn On Red

This sign is placed at intersections where there are traffic lights. This sign generally permits vehicles to make a right turn even when the traffic light is on red. In other words, this sign gives permission to vehicles to turn into the next junction on the right nearer to them, even when the traffic light is showing a red signal and without having to wait for a green signal.






Sharp Deviation of Route or “Chevron” Sign

The chevron sign is positioned to warn motorists of a suden change in traffic direction. That is, they are positioned at places where traffic makes a sudden change in its course or direction , such as bends in the road or at round about. The chevron pattern pointing in the direction that traffic has to turn.





No Waiting

Just like the “No Stopping” sign, this sign is placed along roads or streets to instruct drivers to keep driving or keep their vehicles in motion and not to stop. The difference is that, this signs allows a motorist to stop – to drop off or pick up a passenger, etc. Staying longer than necessary can be viewed as “waiting” or violation of the No Waiting instruction.




No Overtaking

This sign is typically placed on two-way roads that are too narrow or are too risky for vehicles to attempt to overtake vehicles ahead of them. They are also placed at bends, dips in the road or where there are trees.




Lane Merge Left
This sign warns motorist that the lane that they are on narrows as they drive ahead. And such narrow end merges with a parallel lane to the left.





Lane Merge Right

This sign warns motorist that the lane that they are on narrows as the y drive ahead or as it ends. And such narrow end merges with a parallel lane to the right.





Bumps Ahead

This sign is used to warn motorists that there is a bump ahead or an uneven road surface on the road. This warning is intended to get motorists to reduce their speeds at certain points.





Narrow Bridge Ahead

This sign is placed ahead of a location where there is a narrow bridge. This sign is intended to get motorists to reduce their speed and drive cautiously as they approach the bridge.





Keep Right

This sign instructs motorists to keep to the right side of a two-way road. Driving into the left side of the road is a violation of this traffic instruction.






Keep Left

This sign instructs motorists to keep to the left side of a two-way road. Driving into the right side of the road is a violation of this traffic instruction.







Dangerous Turn Right

This sign warns motorists that the road ahead is about to turn sharply in the direction of the arrow, in this case, to the right.






Dangerous Turn Left

This sign warns motorists that the road ahead is about to turn sharply in the direction of the arrow, in this case, to the left.




Pass Either Way

The sign informs motorists that they can pass either side of a diving road to reach the same destination or different directions.






Box Junction

A box junction is a road traffic control measure designed to prevent congestion and gridlock at junctions.
The surface of the junction is typically marked with a crisscross grid of diagonal painted lines (or only two lines crossing each other in the box).

Vehicles are not permitted to enter the area so marked unless their exit from the junction is clear, or they are intending to turn right and are prevented from doing so by oncoming traffic, or other vehicles on the box waiting to turn right.

You have made my day so insightful

this is cool

Nice one

Interesting thread.

Thanks for your teachings More than 65% of the drivers today doesn't know anything about road signs. The other day a vehicle nearly hit somebody at zebra crossing

Skyfornia:
That last one(Box Junction) is still not very clear...someone should please throw more light on it. Thanks..

Basically you shouldn't enter a box junction if the road you're crossing into isn't free. This is to keep traffic moving. So you wait, when you're exit is free you go straight in without waiting on the box.

Nice post not all those cleavages from chioma dem

AutoJosh has been making sense wld like to know you more let's do business!!

See prove bellow

Where are the Nigeria road's signs pics?

I have never seen ped xing before

To hell with these useless signs

Lots of us have over 10 years experience in driving yet we can't identify any of these. Nigeria sucks in every aspect. You can't have a license without passing a text on these road signs/marks, signals and police signals in other organized countries. These little things matters. We sing praises for these useless governors when they construct substandard roads with traffic signs. Driving at night with these signs is fun but here in Nigeria it is a suicide mission. A policy of going through driving school and passing road test will help educate road users, create employment and drive revenue for the government. A rigid policy on road construction should follow to ensure we get road designs before construction and traffic signs installed after construction. I am yet to see any digital governor in this country. The sad part is that most of them lived in abroad.

It is used at signals (junctions) where traffic lights control the traffic. It means you shouldn't be in the box when the signal is red there by blocking other drivers that are coming from other direction that has green light. Another way to understand it is this, if your lane has green light but the road is blocked, do not enter the box if you are unsure that you will pass the box before the light turns red. So you have to remain in your spot until traffic along your direction is free. It attracts penalty in some countries.

You can only see most of these signs in the museum here is Nigeria.

The yellow box junction is used to avoid bottleneck.

Its like the "zebra crossing" for cars

1. You are not allowed to step into the box unless the traffic is free in your direction

2. Once you are in the yellow box, other drivers give way for you

Thank you guys, I have been seeing that sign(box junction) whenever I pass Fola Agoro street and didn't know the meaning until today. Though the sign at Fola Agoro is positioned at the beginning of a street but i have to look at it very well when next I pass there.
