Direction signs guide you to your destination.

All important traffic routes have direction signs, most are blue with a white border, but signs on expressways are green.

Most strategic trunk roads have route numbers shown on shields on direction signs, which enable motorists to quickly find the most convenient and direct route from one district to another.

To change your mind in last minute or hesitation in choosing route at diverging point is dangerous. Understanding the direction signing system, knowing well in advance which route you need to take and following direction signs in good time will enable you to drive safely and avoid unnecessary detour. Always plan your route before moving off (see the details of mobile applications for journey planning in 'Further Reference Materials').

Direction signs are normally provided on the approach to and at junctions. Those on the approach to junctions are 'advance direction signs'.

	Left: A simple advance direction sign showing the destinations. Far right and right: The advance direction signs may also show a simple map of the junction layout - the more important the road from the junction, the thicker the line on the sign.
	Left: Advance direction signs for a roundabout showing the exit arrangement. Exit to expressway or local destination is shown in green or white background respectively. Far right and right: At multilevel junctions on roads with faster traffic, information about the junction is usually given at least 500m in advance and repeated at the beginning of the deceleration lane.	(At 500m in advance)	(At start of deceleration lane)
	Left: Advance direction signs may also give advance indications of prohibitions or warning of dangers ahead. Far right and right: Lane information may also be given on an advance direction sign or marked on the road.
