The Big X is called a crossbuck and they are used to indicate railway crossings. A Crossbuck means yield and only requires stopping when a train is present. Crossbucks may also be supplemented with additional warnings like flashing lights, bells and/or a gate that descends to prevent traffic from crossing the railroad tracks when trains are present.

This pentagon or “house” shape sign represents our school zone sign. It’s unique shape allows drivers travelling in the opposite direction to easily idenitfy it and therefore determine when the school zone is no longer in effect.

In addition to the sign’s shape and colour, the message printed on the sign helps determine the meaning of the sign. The message tells us what to do either via written word (WRONG WAY) or via pictures (road narrows ahead).

Less common to see is a regular triangle shape with the same configuration of colours as the yield sign. When this sign is displayed it means ‘caution’. Drivers may see the upside-down yield sign when vehicles break down on the side of a road. Have you ever noticed the 4-way hazard signal in your vehicle is also an upside-down yield sign?  Again, this serves as a warning for other road users.

Welcome to Canada! These signs are important to motorists who are within populated wildlife territory, and specifically for those who may be unfamiliar with the sheer mass of an adult bull moose. Regarded as one of the toughest and most dangerous animals in North America, and the largest member of the deer family, moose can easily weigh upwards of 1,500 pounds, and can seriously injure drivers and passengers.

In many BC communities, the provincial government has integrated traditional language names of towns and villages with First Nations languages, not only as a courtesy to growing numbers of local indigenous speakers, but also as a pathway to cultural understanding and reconciliation with Canada’s First Nations. It’s not uncommon to see both the English and First Nations languages appear on highway signs, just as English and French may appear on highway signs in Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick.

Some British Columbia mountain passes and roads require drivers (most often commerical drivers) to carry chains during the winter months for added traction and stability. The Chain Up Area signs are used to direct drivers to a safe, cleared location where they can install tire chains, if required.

The background colour of road signs are intentional and the different colours represent different content. Knowing what each colour means will help direct your attention to the different signs when and where you need it.

Signs both inform and educate drivers, making accurate interpretation of road signs necessary to help grow a population of safe drivers. Developing a knowledge of road signs and what the shape, colour and message means will broaden your skills and confidence as a driver.
