MiiiiieiiiiiyjOfflijiB .Borrell Motor Co, Pbona 121 DRIVERS, HEED YOUR SIGNS Accident Rate Could Be Reduced If Drivers Knew Signs Pointingout that tens of thou sands of North Carolina motorists do not know the meaning of the various types of ' warning si(;ns which the state places alongside the highways, Ronald Hocutf, di rector of the . highway safety di vision, this week explained the meanings of the more common types' of warning si.Uns encounter ed by drivers. The three types of signs seen most frequently, Hocutt said, are diamond-shaped signs; square 'signs and octagonal or eight-sided, signs all with black lettering on a yel low background. Diamond signs mean reduced speed. These signs are used where permanent physical dangers always require, a reduction of speed for safety, Hocutt said. Such signs may designate curves, dangerous intersections, sudden . dips in the road, or narrow bridges. Square signs mean caution, the safetv director explained. These signs are used to draw your at tention to road conditions requir ing you to drive with extreme care. For example, men working in the roadway, school zones or other places on the highway that re quire more than ordinary care oii the part of drivers are marked by square-shaped signs. Uctagonal or eight-sided signs mean STOP, Hocutt emphasized, These signs are generally found near dangerous intersections and junctions. "A stop sign means that you must bring your car to a com plete ' halt," Hocutt said. "Slowing down is not enough.' And after stopping you should use great care in entering, the. main road." Then, of course, there are round signs, which mean railroad cross ings. . Round signs always mean stop, look and listen. Even at crossings where the law docs not require you to stop, go,od sense suggests that you stop, Hocutt sug gested. "North Carolina's accident rate could be reduced materially,"' he added, "if everv driver in ' this state understood and heeded every highway sign erected by the state. Motqrists must learn that diamond signs, mean .'reduced 'speed, square signs mean caution, and octagonal signs mean stop. And the sooner they learn this, the safer they will be." '.
