2.

This sign can often be confused with hospital markings or danger. However, this represents a 4-way intersection.

3.

This is not a sign of an oncoming semi or truck heading your way. It’s a sign pointing towards a possible steep incline. However, the tricky part is the direction of incline. Some signs don’t always indicate if it’s downward or upward directly. Prepare for any direction on the safe side.

4.

This odd road sign may signal to some drivers that there is a potential for an oncoming object that may tip their vehicle over.

Warning, there may be children ahead in the road playing a lively game of teeter totter. This sign actually refers to a playground ahead in either a recreational facility or school.

7.

This sign is often the most confusing and perplexing for motorists. It seems to indicate that there is some sort of type of vehicle that has a wild streak of rebellion. This sign actually means that the exit ramp associated with this sign is for vehicles in trouble with brakes or the engine.

As you can see, some road signs are more clear than others. Some can be confusing as regional traffic laws change the style of how the sign is portrayed.

A steep incline road sign can mingle with an oncoming animal crossing sign . The next time you take a vacation be aware of the subtle differences or you may find yourself unnecessarily preparing for animal crossings on a steep incline roundabout.
