Highway Director
Explains Road Signs
Pointing out that tens of thous
ands of North Carolina motorists
do not know the meaning of the va
rious types of warning signs which
the State nlaces afloneside the high
ways, Ronald Hocutt, director of the
Highway Safety Division, this week ;
explained the meanings of the more
common types of -warning signs en
countered 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 yellow
background.
Diamond signs mean reduce speed.
These signs are used where perma
nent physical dangers always require
a reduction of speed for safety,
Hocutt said. Such signs may desig
nate curves, dangerous intersections,
sudden dips in the road, or narrow
bridges.
Square signs mean caution, the
safety director explained. These
signs are used to draw your atten
tion to road conditions requiring you
to drive with extreme care. For ex
ample, men working in the roadway,
school zones or other places on the
highway that require more than or
dinary care on the part of drivers
are marked by squareshped signs.
uctagonai. or eignt-eided signs
mean STOP, Hocutt emphasized.!
These signs are generally found near
dangerous intersections and junc
tions.
"A stop sign means that you must
bring your car to a complete halt,"
Hocutt said. "Slowing down is not

from individual businesses keeps

families, that way of life will en

should use great care in entering the
main road."
Then, of course, there are round
signs which mean railroad crossings.
Round signs always mean stop, look
and listen. Even at crossings where
the law does not require you to stop
