Road Signs

Road Signs

Visual Literacy

For this week I chose a photo of several road signs to represent visual literacy. While road signs were created to send messages to people while they are driving, the color, use of wording, and pictures upon each sign mean something different. The use of the color yellow is applied to convey a general caution message, red generally means stop, blue indicates road user services, tourist information, and evacuation routes, green shows permitted traffic movements or direction guidance, and white indicates a regulatory sign. Some signs that are in a specific color may only have pictures upon them to relay a message. Unless one is an experienced driver, these signs may not be familiar to them including children or those who may not have ever received a license to drive.
