PEDESTRIAN SIGNALS
| Pedestrian signals show the words "WALK" or a lighted picture of a "WALKING PERSON" in white when it is legal to cross a street. |
 |
| "DON'T WALK" or "RAISED HAND" signal means do not start across the street because you may not have enough time to make it to the other side before traffic starts moving across your path. If the flashing starts after you have already started to cross, finish crossing the street. |
 |
| At many traffic signals, you need to push the pedestrian push button (once) to receive the "WALK" or "WALKING PERSON" signal. If there are no pedestrian signals, pedestrians must obey the red, yellow, or green signal lights. |
SIGNS
Traffic Signs.
| The shape of a sign gives you a clue about the information contained on the sign. Here are the common shapes used: |
The eight-sided red STOP sign means that you must make a full stop before entering a crosswalk or at a white "limit line." A limit line is a wide white line painted on the street. When a crosswalk or limit line is not marked, stop at the corner.
|
 |
| On divided highways, a STOP sign for crossing or turning vehicles is often placed on the island or dividing strip. You must also stop there. |
The three-sided red YIELD sign means slow down, be ready to stop, and let traffic (including people walking or riding bikes) pass before you go proceed.
|
 |
| The square red and white regulatory signs tell you about regulations you must follow. |
| For example, the DO NOT ENTER sign tells you vehicles will be coming toward you, usually on a freeway off ramp. |
 |
| The WRONG WAY sign may be posted with the DO NOT ENTER sign. If you see one or both of these signs, drive to the side and stop. You are going against traffic. When safe, back out or turn around and go back to the road you were on. (At night, road reflectors will shine red in your headlights when you are going the wrong way.) |
 |
A red circle with a red line through it always means NO. The picture inside the circle shows what you cannot do. The sign may be shown with or without words under it.
|
 |
A circular sign tells you of an approaching railroad crossing.
|
 |
| A five-sided sign tell you about the presence of a nearby school. |
 |
| A four-sided, diamond shaped sign warns drivers of specific road conditions and dangers ahead. Most, but not all, warning signs are diamond shaped. All warning signs must be obeyed. |
| A white rectangular sign tells you about important rules you must obey. |

Already Have Your License?
Looking for a Traffic School?
Traffic school will help keep your auto insurance costs lower if you receive a traffic ticket.
Every licensed California Driver must have auto insurance to drive a vehicle in California. Proof of insurance must be provided to the California DMV when you obtain your drivers license (not your learners permit).
Proof of auto insurance must also be provided to DMV when you register or renew the license on a vehicle you own.
