General information about warning road signs in America

Warning road signs give notice of a situation that might not be readily apparent. Warning road signs typically have a yellow background color but the background color can also be orange or fluorescent-pink depending on the situation.

Examples of warning road signs

	Several warning signs help drivers anticipate turns or curves in the road.
	Usually diamond-shaped and yellow, warning signs caution drivers that the road is slippery when wet; there is an intersection ahead, the lanes narrow, or there may be bicyclists, farm animals, or wildlife on or near the roadway.
	The pentagon shape with the point to the top warns us to watch for school children. The new color for these signs - fluorescent yellow-green - is much easier to see in low light and foggy/rainy weather.
	Pay attention to the round yellow WARNING sign - there's a railroad crossing ahead.
	Yellow pennant-shaped signs caution motorists where passing is unsafe.
	CONSTRUCTION signs are orange diamonds specifically used only to WARN drivers about construction and work zone activity. And don't forget to slow down and give road crews a 'brake'! These signs These signs always have an orange background color.
