The DSA Official Bookshop The Department for Transport’s ‘Know your Traffic Signs’ booklet is now available on Directgov. You can go to an individual section for images and information on traffic signs, signals and road markings. Or, you can download the booklet in full, free of charge.
To take a look, go to direct.gov.uk/trafficsigns.
Why know your traffic signs? Traffic signs play a vital role in directing, informing and controlling road users’ behaviour in an effort to make the roads as safe as possible for everyone. This makes knowledge of traffic signs essential. Not just for new drivers or riders needing to pass their theory test, but for all road users, including experienced professional drivers.
Keeping up to date We live in times of change. Society, technology and the economy all play their part in changing the way we travel. New road signs conveying new messages and in new formats are introduced from time to time, so drivers or riders who passed their driving test a few years ago need to keep up to date or run the risk of failing to understand or comply with recently introduced signs.
Having experience is all very well, but it’s not enough if your knowledge is out of date
There are lots of other very useful, easy to understand books, DVDs and CDs available from the DSA containing information and tips on how to be more prepared for today's roads.
Good bookshops also have a comprehensive range of driving materials which are worth considering. It's worth investing a few pounds so that you are more aware of your responsibilities as a driver, both to yourself and to other road users. After all, you'll be using the roads pretty often, and you might be surprised just how much is expected of you as you interact with other road users - cars, motor cycles, lorries, emergency vehicles, invalid carriages, pedestrians, animals, to name a few! They also act as good material for you to refer to if you come across something that you may not have been previously familiar with, and just need to get your head around. These are just a few.
